I’m lucky to work with Yoana. She’s very process-oriented and always focused on measurable results, and I especially value how she breaks big, complex problems into clear, manageable steps and delivers on time. She consistently asks how we can make things more user-centric, which keeps the team focused on what really matters. A true asset to our team and a great colleague to work with every day!
