Bio
Sergey Bortnichek
Ask Matt if you need to know how to deliver a truly complicated project with not enough time for preparation but with a triumph despite all challenges! Matt was a project manager for one of the most important catering services during the FIFA Football World Cup in Qatar in 2022 – VIP Hospitality Catering. Not far before the event we decided to change the model of service delivery, including bringing a new supplier on board and developing a new level of service. That was the moment when Matt joined the team. Needless to say how many challenges we had during this time, and how much tension we experienced. Fortunately, Matt was the exact leader we needed to successfully manage it. I was particularly impressed with Matt’s ability to keep constant patience and сool head in the interactions with multiple diverse stakeholders, always focusing on the final target and maintaining the right balance of interests. Matt contributed a lot both on the strategic and operational planning level as well as during the operations. As a team member or a leader, Matt earns my highest recommendation!
