Juraj Hrčka
Pavol is a seasoned consultant and likeable person. We cooperated on a business analysis of an international organization, so we could identify reliable trends and come up with case studies which may help member organizations to improve particular areas of their business. Pavol showed up as a hard-worker, consultant with strategic overview and man with a sense for a detail. It was my pleasure to cooperate with him.
