Bio
Avi Hayun
If I needed to point to a single person which has the complete picture of XConnect, that has all of the "know how" I would point at Susan. If I was the CEO and I needed to fire all of the personnel except one person, I would choose Susan to stay and maintain all of the systems.
Eli Sorotzkin
Working with Susan was great experience, she's always ready to help and always happy to pass her knowledge to others. Managing so many projects at once, she's not only able to see the overall picture, but to dive into the smallest problems and she keeps track of everything that goes on.
