Herbert J, Austria

Managing Director

Vlad was the perfect coach and consultant for my career planning and my personal development goals. He always listened very closely to what is important to me and advised me based on his experience.  A big plus for me was his willingness to go the extra mile. He provides current literature, new insights and creates awareness for elements vital for instance for an interview process. I am grateful for his experience and help!

Daisy S. 

CHRO, Chair of the Board

I’ve had the pleasure and honor of working with Vlad in different capacities - in successfully building and leading high performing HR teams in EU and the global HR center of excellence, and in an executive consultancy capacity. Vlad brings a wealth of multifunctional business and leadership experience and expertise. He is a strategic thinking partner and professional coach who is able to cut through complexity and get to the heart of the matter. He is truly a multiplier and an enabler of people, helping others reach their full potential.

Legal & Compliance Director

Vlad is a very good career coach, who knows his job perfectly. Vlad helped me to determine the strategic direction of my professional career and also to see the blind spots, requiring attention. All the recommendations and guidance received were very accurate and practical, which undoubtedly helped in career development and achieving my goals.

Alejandro P. 

CEO

As an American exploring career opportunities in Europe, Vlad's consulting was crucial. He expertly navigated the cultural differences in job hunting, resume styles, and other professional customs. His approach was insightful and supportive, equipping me with practical strategies for my job search. Vlad's guidance was instrumental in boosting my confidence and clarity during this important career transition. I'm deeply grateful for his invaluable assistance.

Andrea P. 

General Manager

Vlad brings a wealth of expertise and experience to the field of human resources, demonstrating a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges faced by organizations in managing their workforce effectively. 
I have been consistently impressed by Vlad's ability to provide strategic HR guidance and support across a range of areas, including talent acquisition, performance management, employee relations, and organizational development. His keen insights, coupled with his proactive and results-oriented approach, have made a significant impact on the success of the projects we have worked on together.
In addition to his exceptional skills and knowledge, Vlad is also an excellent communicator and collaborator, and his approach is characterized by professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to delivering tailored solutions. 

Alexander I, Netherlands

Director, Talent, I&D and Transformation

Vlad is a practicing senior HR leader. His skillset stays current and he is able to test and work out latest coaching and mentoring frameworks in real time. I appreciated Vlad challenging my thinking in respect to my career profile and, nudging me to articulate my experience and skillset in unambiguous language. A dry-run interview conducted by Vlad allowed to see my pitch in a mirror and provided plenty of small, but valuable improvements to how I come across as a candidate.
