I had the opportunity and privilege to work with Valentin on a few massive projects in the past. Valentin’s demeanour is thoughtful, attentive, calm and friendly, even under the most stressful of circumstances and working with the most difficult of people. He takes time to gather facts, insuring he is reacting to all facts and not partial segments of information, and thus produces consistent, high-quality results. Valentin was always very timely with completion of his work, if not ahead of schedule, and was deemed as a source of knowledge and competency by fellow team members as well as clients. I highly recommend Valentin Sesselkin’s talent and expertise, as an individual and as a professional.

I have known Valentin for a few years as one of his customers. Valentin is a highly motivated and qualified professional with experience in all aspects of business strategies including sales, operational, and client relations. He also has a very unique ability to work in the space between sales and customer services. I would highly recommend Valentin. Ivan Kulakovskiy.
