Ivan consistently shows his leadership and passion in designing and improving the many courses of Lithan Hall Academy. He has successfully spearheaded the design of new key courses like the Digital Marketing bootcamp and startup-related courses. As the key facilitator and mentor, I value Ivan's views of how Digital Marketing Bootcamp should be run. He has helped me craft, facilitate and mentor my trainees to great effect. Today we have successfully run 5 different intake/batches of trainees. As an entrepreneur himself, the experience he shared is particularly helpful in the capacity of a Product Manager.

“Ivan always brought a lot of drive and enthusiasm to everything he did. He is a high energy guy and a team player willing to lend a hand wherever needed.”

Ivan is a gifted entrepreneur with a rare combination of patience, spunk, and research skills.

Ivan sets the bar high for pushing yourself outside the box and truly exploring your potential outside of your comfort zone.

"4 months working with Ivan as a mentor was very fruitful for our startup – a B2C marketplace. Ivan was helping us with setting the business processes, KPIs, and growth strategy. We managed to improve business overall and as a result customer's registrations grew 300% in 3 months. In 6 months, the retention rate increased from 15% to 70%. We hired 21 interns to help us with Customer support and marketing. Finally, seed investment received 1 year from finishing the mentoring program."

"During our times at AWS, I remember Ivan would come up with sensible ideas in all meetings and would be full of energy at any time of the day! Thanks to his involvement in multiple projects at the same time, he had built very good experiences throughout his career. That would help him to be a good sounding board for any challenges. His cheerful nature helped in bringing the team closer. I admired Ivan's 'always ready to experiment' attitude and his networking abilities. I would work with Ivan any day."

"Ivan is a great manager who inspires and encourages others. He built the Digital Marketing strategy for Lithan which resulted in a significant reduction in customer acquisition cost- just one of the valuable skills that he imparts to us. He shares his knowledge and experiences with enthusiasm and that really motivates the team to work better. He’s also open to different new ideas and gives us plenty of opportunities to test them out. I have learnt a lot while working with him. He's a leader, a mentor, and also a friend! 🙂 Thanks Ivan!"

"I'm lucky to have met Ivan rather early in my career as his role as a project manager and a tutor has had a huge impact on my own professional development. During our collaboration at Boson and Amazon FBA program, he has shown an ability for strategic and analytical thinking, product development, e-commerce, and marketing strategy. Throughout that time he inspired others and helped develop a culture of motivation and proactivity in the company. Thanks, Ivan, it's always a pleasure to work with you."

"Ivan is a skilled product and marketing hustler Ivan’s thinking and work are structured and results-oriented, and he helps his teammates to learn and grow quicker. He brings knowledge and integrity to work and his presence has a positive impact on his colleagues.

"He is passionate and energetic to his work. He is innovative and finds creative ways how to do more with less. "

"I had a fantastic experience while working with Ivan to set up the 2018 AWS Hackdays. Not only did he coordinate with numerous internal stakeholders to keep this multi-facet and location event on schedule but whenever possible he put his experience and insights on the table to ensure it was not just "a job done" but "a job done as well as possible". His endless positive energy will be of benefit to any company!"

"I've worked closely with Ivan in the company to strategize product development on our digital marketing programs. Ivan is a brilliant co-worker and a total joy to be around. Dynamic and an out-of-the-box thinker, Ivan is never one to be challenged by limitations and rules, always innovating and inspiring those around him with the way he walks the talk. His exceptional skillsets in digital marketing and lead generation, in particular, have helped the company improve the leads generated, even though marketing was not his direct job responsibility but he showed initiative to help other colleagues. A true privilege to call him my intellectual sparring partner."
