Nevena Kostova, PMP

Charlotta was a colleague to me in Detail and we worked on multiple accounts, her being Sales and me being Customer Success. She excelled at building trust and rapport with clients from the start, allowing for an open and fruitful partnership onward. Charlotta has the acumen to understand the business need and the thoroughness and patience to follow up and adjust the products to best meet this need, AND maintain a mutually beneficial client relationship post-sales. Her business maturity and emotional intelligence make her the perfect partner, whether you both stand in the same organization or not.

Hanna Hirvonen

Charlotta is a super smart, analytical, friendly and nice person to work with. We worked together in the area of staffing/recruitment/HR for a few years. She handles things in an organised and systematic way. Her approach is always constructive and professional, with positive and solution oriented attitude.
