Bio
Ben Parish
I worked as a developer whilst Monika was a product owner for Vodafone’s eCare self-service customer portal. Telecomms is a particularly challenging business domain and Vodafone is a very large and complex business organisation and eCare had many stakeholders. I was very impressed at how Monika was able to absorb and understand all the complexities of the business domain, interpret and manage all the stakeholder expectations and very effectively manage the delivery of multiple projects constrained within a complex deployment lifecycle spanning onshore and offshore teams. Monika has excellent communication and interpersonal as well as analytical skills. As well as a highly accomplished product owner, Monika was a very valued and respected colleague and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Monika.

I was lucky enough to work with Monika on a project for a small London startup whilst at General Assembly, London. Her work ethics, managing skills, ability to synthesise complex ideas and identify key problems, as well as creative ideas to solve them, were instrumental in the success of our project. She is a natural team player and extremely fun to work with, whilst always focused on delivering high quality work at all times. I would absolutely work with Monika again.
