Bio
Darya Tarelko
I'd been working on the same project with Gelene where she did a really great job! She is as a true professional and one of the most responsible Product Managers on Sephora. Her stories were always well written and structured. She is ready to take new challenges, doing her best, answer as soon as possible and spread a lot of positive around :) even in daily routine. It was a big pleasure to work with such a professional-positive person. She inspires people around. I highly recommend Gelene and maybe some day in future hope to work with her again.
Madeleine Lycka
Gelene is a well-rounded Product Manager. She knows her products inside and out, and is always working toward the best possible experience for the customer. She is very articulate, and motivated. Her stories are well written, she has solid relationships with vendors, and knows a little code. She’s also able to prioritize. This seems like a given, but not everyone is able to make good, quick, decisions. Her sense of ownership, always positive attitude, and responsiveness is admirable. Rising star in the Product Management world.
