“Irina is an outstanding IT Process Manager. I first met her when we started implementing ISO9001, and then A-SPICE, in my organization in 2013. Later, she became part of my team, and I had the pleasure of working closely with her for more than 6 years.

I have been constantly impressed by Irina's exceptional ability to roll out complex process frameworks, scale them for large organizations, and lead multiple diverse IT teams towards achieving the same goal. I have never seen anyone exceed at process implementation under tight deadlines as effortlessly as Irina. Moreover, Irina is extremely passionate about the subject, and she sets a very high-quality standard. She also never stops learning and coming up with new creative process solutions for optimizing the working environment, while still accomplishing the overall business objectives.

I would highly recommend Irina for any leading position in large-scale IT transformation initiatives and would be very happy to work with her again.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Irina for a number of years when we collaborated on quality and process improvement initiatives in our shared organization. Irina is a strong and empathetic leader, a strategist who challenges the status quo, an effective multilingual communicator, and an all around good person. She collaborates when needed but is equally effective working independently. I would be honored to work with her again.

Irina has a demonstrated track record of having the vision for the long-game while being skilled at determining the tactics to bring that vision to life. She works well across all levels of an organization, managing up/across/down, as needed. She successfully drove several programs that spanned three continents and multiple time-zones.

In a nutshell, Irina delivers to a very high standard, using stellar collaboration skills and with a sense of urgency. In a word, she's amazing.”

“Working in a highly distributed team Irina has been a positive influence through her contribution to collaborative projects operating in a global working environment. She applies her friendly personality and persuasiveness in communications with stakeholders and has proven her ability in responding to and adapting to changes within the business. In driving key initiatives, Irina demonstrates a devotion to successful implementation and improvement of IT service products and processes.

It has been a pleasure working with Irina and I am happy to recommend her as a competent and resourceful quality manager.”

“Irina is a well rounded professional with several years of experience in the IT industry who has been driving the difficult task of improving quality in Nokia's location based services.

She has a good understanding of technology, stakeholder needs, and more importantly customer requirements. Detail oriented and diligent she considers all aspects of an issue while striving for the best outcome for all concerned.

A great job done by a single individual, making one wish there were more like her in any organization.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Irina at Nokia while implementing new service quality delivery processes across business segments. Her outstanding leadership, technical acumen, and professional demeanor have directly contributed to the success of the entire group, spreading much needed credibility with our business partners in Berlin.

Irina is an absolute joy to work with; detail oriented and driven by customer success. She is someone who can be counted upon to proactively identify improvement opportunities, as well as deliver upon expectations.”

“I’ve worked with Irina for almost 3 years. She was always responsive to the problems of our department and got right to the point of the small technical details and analyses. Committed to resolving issues, she never left any unattended, thus minimizing production risks. I admire her for her professionalism, patience and energy. I’d be happy to work with Irina again.”

“I have been consistently impressed by both Irina's attitude towards her work and her performance on the job. Irina possesses a very logical and structured way of thinking, which has enabled her to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions. Her ability to remain unflustered during stressful times (like tight project deadlines approaching) proves her ability to work well under pressure. She is also paying great attention to detail and this enables her to always produce high-quality work. Irina is highly respected by the people who work with her, she is a very open-minded, easy-going, flexible and cheerful person.”

“Irina was one of my brilliant students in the class of Management Information Systems (MIS) within the Master's program "Management Information Systems" at Sofia University.

She actively took part in the topics discussed during the course. The final assignment of Irina was on Knowledge Management Systems and she performed it very professionally, completing it with additional research and analyses. Her grade in my course is Excellent (A).”
