Bio
Giorgio Heiman
I have known and worked with Spyros for several years, most of them being his direct manager. I enjoyed our professional relationship as well as our personal interaction due to frequent travels and project meetings together. I always appreciated Spyros’ total commitment to customer satisfaction, action and results which often resulted in significant business increase for our company. Spyros provides a good blend of business acumen, pragmatism, experience, strategy, political alignment, all combined with a positive attitude and facilitator skills. His experience as a seasoned Professional Services Manager shows in each of his actions, prepared carefully with detailed analysis and strategic overviews, crowned by success and positive results. Spyros also has an attentive eye to implementation and management of the solution. And all of this complemented by good communications and documentation skills. Spyros also has extensive experience of working for a global company, particularly in a complex matrix environment, as well as in an indirect channel situation, which required skillful communication and diplomacy I would not hesitate to recommend Spyros for many management and business roles most likely in a technology orientated company.
