Bio
Brian West
I have had the pleasure of working with Olga for 11 years. She is one of the most gifted co-workers I have ever worked with. Her ability to balance operational excellence with compassion and care for her employees while ensuring to deliver value to customers is extraordinary. Olga realizes that the strength of any company is its people, so ensuring they have everything they need to be successful is essential. Olga's commitment to her employees is why they deliver excellent work for the customers.

Olga is one of the most rational thinking managers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have always found Olga to be well organized and always ahead of the game. She understands the big picture, and works to ensure that people's goals are in alignment with business strategies. Olga is a dedicated, hard working individual with keen attention to details and constant drive to improve processes and procedures within organization. She installed many of the business practices Itera still has today. Olga was an enabler to help elevate the company to that next level. I was extremely impressed by Olga’s abilities when she lead two very critical initiatives within Itera - establishment of People Office and QA Group Function. She is able to work across the organization, interacting with many different personalities, with many different areas of responsibility, focuses, and levels of knowledge. In the same time Olga is always pushing herself to learn more and improve. She has high standards for herself and for her work.
