Yulia Matiuhin
I've crossed ways with Igor during my work at Smartzyme. I know him as a very efficient, relentless, attentive manager and a crisis solver. Combined with his inner integrity and good spirits this makes Igor one of my former colleagues that I would be glad to work again with.

Igor reported to me while I was CEO at TACount, a company specializing in Rapid Microbiological Testing and a fully owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, a multinational Chinese company with over $60 Billion sales worldwide in industries including High Tech, Life Sciences, Finance and Clean Technology. As a Laboratory Manager, Igor was instrumental in leading our Laboratory team to a high level of performance while ensuring that the facility itself was compliant with all regulatory requirements and consistently maintaining the highest levels of quality and functionality that were essential to achieving our R&D and business development goals. Igor was a loyal and devoted employee who regularly demonstrated exceptional work ethics, integrity and strategic thinking. I was able to rely on Igor to consistently deliver on all tasks while regularly overachieving his targets. Additionally, I was able to rely on Igor’s expertise to guide me in the preparation of business development plans and presentations to investors and potential customers. Igor was an outstanding team player, well like and respected by the other employees. Igor also showed interest in expanding his knowledge and capabilities which resulted in the company sending him to QA/QC training that he requested. I enjoyed working with him and watching his rapid development and advancement over the years. Both the company and I benefited from his commitment to and achievement of his goals. I would highly recommend him to any organization lucky enough to have him and hope that I will have the opportunity to work with him again. For additional questions about Igor please do not hesitate to contact me.
