Bio
Dmitry Maslov
I was working with Elena for three years in Electronic Arts and from very beginning I was impressed by her energy and enthusiasm. She managed long and technically complex game projects. Elena is very proactive and when I came to EA (as a new Development Manager), she organized a course where she shared her knowledge with new managers. This was very useful and helpful. Elena was the first manager who started applying Scrum practices in our projects and slowly but surely all game teams in our studio were engaged with this framework. Elena is friendly, calm and open minded person. Please don't hesitate, hire Elena and you will be happy :-)
