Bio
Kurt Peterson, PMP, SMC
If you need someone to "wrap their arms around" a challenge, breakdown the options and risks, and then drive the agreed upon solution to a successful completion, then Sergey is the right person to bring on board! I have worked along side Sergey as he has dug deep into challenges and found creative solutions. I always look forward to being in meetings with Sergey because I can expect to hear pointed and pertinent questions to help everyone better understand the issue at hand. He has a proven track record of successfully managing large, business critical projects. Sergey has also helped create valuable PM processes at SSP Innovations. He understands the balance between having structured tools available to PMs, while also needing to properly conform and apply those tools in way that fits the situation at hand. His experience solving project challenges, and his analytical way of thinking, has helped him lead his GIS teams to deliver projects on time, and within scope and budget.

Sergey is a very talented and diligent project manager. He is very systematic in his approach and makes sure that the expectations of stakeholders are met. It is a joy to work with him. His work ethics are exemplary.
James Tan
As a software engineer I find that Sergey exemplifies many of the greatest qualities of a project manager and project lead. He's not only capable of managing multiple projects and the interests of multiple stakeholders - but he's also fantastic and communicating expectations and goals while being realistic and practical.
