Bio
Kamen Markov
I've worked closely with Simona for over 18 months now and continue to be impressed on a daily basis by her dedication and professionalism. She is obviously a very experienced project management expert that can lead a PM department, however that does not tell the whole story. Her desire to get things done and to meet the commitments while maintaining the team's morale and being very professional in pushing them forward is what stands up as exceptional in my opinion. The deep knowledge of agile, scrum and other PMO methodologies are an added bonus.

It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Simona, who has been a key member of my management team. Nowadays, she is stepping up in her career, taking bigger challenge, which I am sure will be great success. I hired Simona three years ago, when I started transforming the company from a mature startup towards a mid-size enterprise. Since then, we have passed through many changes, company merges, strategic projects, and all the rest of the crazy-paced activities the contemporary online business is facing. Simona grew along with the challenges. From an agile project manager she became a sound operations lead. Simona is ambitious, result-oriented manager, with great potential, who is able to contribute to the success of any company, which is focused on continuous efficiency and effectiveness improvements. Last but not least, her great sense of humor is big asset for any work and social environment. I would highly recommend her to whom it may concern.
