Ramana Dharwada
Ivan is very talented and a quick learner. Myself and Ivan worked very closely for various years in building technical teams, product and process improvements. He is always customer centric and achieved 100% customer satisfaction all the time. His management skills are exceptional , he is always ready to take up the challenges. He possesses excellent problem solving skills and patiently handles the critical crisis. He is a great asset to any company and team.

I have been working with Ivan for last 6+ years, it started when he was working as Technical Support Engineer for Tekelec and I was one of his customers. I found him very organized, competent, skillful and expert in his work, he was quick to understand the reported issues and responded with comprehensive solutions. Later, he was promoted to Team Lead - Global Technical Support and then Manager Professional Services in NewNet, which reflects on his consistent hard work. Recently, I got the opportunity to meet him twice, the latter was an in-depth 5 days training on NewNet Mobile Messaging, which was more of an interactive workshop where we discussed the system for 9/10 hours per day and I cannot think of any better person to have conducted that training than Ivan. It is never easy to transfer huge amount of knowledge in limited time but in addition to that, he was also quick to follow-up on any pending discussion points. I highly recommend him and wish him all the best for his future.
