Bubu and I have worked together for over 6 years now–the biggest proof of not only how trustworthy he is as a business partner and entrepreneur, but simply how enjoyable he is to work with. He's got an exceptional knack for design (ranging from UX to pitch deck development), incredible empathy for his customers and teammates, and excellent experience / knowledge in both the B2C and particularly B2B spaces. He's been my "go-to guy" for any startup ideas, because (and here's his superpower) Bubu is an executor. He doesn't develop ideas and let them sit; he acts on them, and delivers at an impeccable standard. Bubu's long standing reputation is one of absolute reliability. I'd recommend him to your company, but only on the condition that he's still able to work with me. #GetInLine
