Bio
Maciej Burno
Pavel is a great candidate for Business Development. His mind is very sharp and often stay focused on the project to ensure its completed. Pavel ability to do market research is outstanding and he managed to connect with me and arrange couple of very important meetings that opened doors for some future strategic partneships between our companies. Additionally, Pavel is very good at following up, which I think is one of the most important part of business development. It is easy to find potential business, but most people failt to follow up and Pavel does not. I can honestly recommend Pavel for any type of BD positions and I am glad to know him and be part of his network.
