Bio
Sasha Gavrylyuk
During out work at AEC Lidia appeared to show strong leadership skills: always positive, very organized, result driven and highly professional. What amazed me the most, Lidia had to face and solve a great number of conflicts on daily basis, which she managed to do in her own excellent way. I recommend Lidia as a strong problem solver with people oriented approach and wish her the best of luck in her future aspirations.
Diana Buga
During our work with Lydia she has shown herself as a very independent, self confident and objective manager with great communication skills and brilliant ideas. Her attitude to work and to other team members was inspiring, motivational that allowed her to build a great staff team. Her decisions are always well-thought and analyzed. Not only she performed well as a manager, but she also was a successful teacher and a team member. I enjoyed working with Lydia and would recommend her to anyone who wants to achieve the ambitious goals, since Lydia is the person who can certainly do that.
