As a professional who is almost 20 years in betting industry I found it very challenging to expand my field of expertise and explore new opportunities. I’m positive and I can help company that would hire me with upcoming challenges.
Experience that I have, reflects in leading high performance teams of industry professionals, in companies with extremely high annual turnover.
In all my previous positions I had a cooperation with large number of associates from different teams in order to improve quality of work and to provide all processes to be done on time. In the same time one of my key responsibilities was developing the product and technology culture. During this time I was the one setting and completing goals to achieve an overarching goal for the company.
Degree in computer science helps me understand the need for constant technology and product improvements.
My biggest challenge is to use my expertise to help the company that I work for, to position itself one step higher on a daily basis.
