I had the pleasure to work with Nikolay in ING Belgium. His razor-sharp mind, excellent analytical capabilities and utmost professionalism make him one of the most inspiring people I've worked with. Nikolay is able to dissect any issue sharp and fast, weigh alternatives in the most strategic and practical way determining the right course of action and challenge the status quo. He is passionate, energetic and committed to achieve the results that are needed for the projects he represents. His experiences outside banking and the banking knowledge gained so far make the perfect combination for a strategic thinking creating the perfect play-ground for him to stay a step ahead in understanding, embracing and be a promoter of banking transformation.

Nikolay is a great person to work with and a trustworthy friend. He is reliable, hard-working and highly goal-oriented individual with extremely professional attitude to his responsibilities. Nikolay impressed me with his analytic, communication and organisational skills, and I could always rely on his independence and profound understanding of talent management area. He can always keep in mind the big picture while dealing with the details, which helps him to be a good coach and to motivate others to achieve results. I could recommend Nikolay for any position that requires a strong team member, with leadership skills who can put great devotion to the work.
