Bio
Tonya Marchenko
I've had the joy of working with Olesia at 73.today. She is very attentive to details and has brilliant analytical skills. Whenever she was a part of the project she asked spot-on questions and was proactive in seeking solutions and suggesting further actions. I enjoyed working with her because she always had a structural approach and helped the team to be organized. Apart from her professional skills and knowledge, I must say I enjoyed working with her in one team because she is a very open and sincere person. She cared about the project and also about every member of the team. I can recommend Olesia as a great professional legal advisor with extensive experience in this area, and also as a talented product manager, who has a calm and consistent approach and is eager to learn from the industry.
