Her great people skills enables her to work seamlessly with relevant internal and external stakeholders to ensure projects are managed within scope and on time. She is a natural leader who is passionate about her team's success with the goal of achieving results in line with organisation's business objectives. We worked together at Decagon and she is well respected for her humility, resourcefulness and empathic personality. As a highly skilled Scrum Master, she is very capable of building high performance teams with a focus on a growth mindset. Her combination of technical and non-technical skills in project/product management will be an asset to any organisation.

Lesi is an exceptional individual. I had the privilege to work with Lesi at Decagon in various capacities, as a software engineer in training, a practicing software engineer and eventually when she became a technical product manager. First, as a software engineer trainee, she proved to be exceptional, and eventually stood out to be one of the best students during the program. Her performance led to her automatic employment as software engineer. As a software engineer, she was consistent in excellence to the degree that she became the Delivery Coordinator and eventually a Technical Product Manager. During the times I worked with Lesi, she always brought intelligent ideas and solution. She is very teachable and a great team member. I recommend Lesi as an exceptional talent, for any organization seeking a Technical Product Manager, she will be a great addition to the team.
