Bio
Alexey Belov, PhD, MBA
I wholeheartedly recommend Solveig as a consultant. Solveig has a take-charge attitude and subtle-yet-confident approach that resulted in her being immediately embraced by our Shanghai community when we first met in May 2013. Solveig is not only creative; she possesses the rare skill of being able to communicate her ideas and their associated benefits effectively, which in our case resulted in full buy-in from the client. Simply put, she gets results. During the two months, our team has collaborated with Nestle. We have seen the great interest and the satisfaction about our project from them. I am convinced that both achievements are largely a result of Solveig 's efforts. She is highly professional and passion with an attitude
David Garcia Gutierrez
