I worked with Varvara for two long years at a particularly challenging client. I have rarely seen a project manager with her level of composure and ease of handling pressure situations. She is extremely easy to work with and always strives to deliver as much value to the project as possible... It was a great experience to work with her.

Varvara has a perfect balance of being meticulous in project and sensitive to people. Her patience, guidance, support and encouragement have been amazing. She stands by her team, and shows great trust in each individual and we always take solace in the fact that she will be fair in her handling of any issue. And has amazing skills which bonds the entire JDA team as well as the clients. She is always positive, optimistic and resourceful. It is great to work with someone who cares about their work as much as Varvara - thank you! Demand planning, Replenishment and S&OP; Together@Liberty Global, Amsterdam
