What People Say
Georgi Kremenliev
General Manager, Bulgaria
The breadth and depth of Peter’s knowledge about software projects delivery is rivaled only by his passion for agile methodologies. The added bonus is that Peter has had real life experience delivering projects at different scales and can appreciate the differences in organizational culture, scope, and business domain, and tailor his approaches to match what the organization needs.
During the two and a half years that Peter was part of my team he also grew to a very considerate people manager both in selecting and growing his people. He was able to lead his team through a few transitions, and the agile coaches that reported to him were very highly appreciated by their respective teams.
Also Peter was working very actively with the whole company (doing culture surveys, company wide education and events, 1:1 coaching) and working in a very targeted manner with the leadership team (his peers and the top management of the company.) Most of my professional interactions with him were equal parts me coaching him and him coaching me.
Peter Beshkov
Product Owner
Peter’s agile coaching competencies are very broad. His ability to offer the right knowledge at the right time considering the context of the situation is remarkable. His technical expertise is high above average and there are few secrets for him in engineering practices. We often exchanged ideas and I really admire his passion and the depth of technical knowledge.
Peter can facilitate a large group, guiding them neutrally to their own decisions. His engineering spirit is driven by a constant pursuit to make things clever and wiser. Peter is a real guru in one of my painful topics, the topic “measuring Agile” — from choosing the right indicators, through making the conclusions and taking the decisions, to analyzing the results. He is a master of many Agile frameworks, tools, and theories that you know and others you have never heard of, but most of all Peter really values the underlying principles that will bring your organization from the level of command-and-control to that of the right mindset.
Peter’s coaching and empathy helped me many times. I always left the room energized and motivated. His real experience and coaching capabilities are the catalyst that will foster any organization’s positive transformation for a competitive business advantage.
Trayana Koleva
Agile Project Manager
Peter took the challenge to be my Agile Coach and I can say that this was the best time of my career so far. With his sharp mind and analytical skills, he can solve every issue in a company — from process to personal. One of the best things Peter did for me is to make me believe and trust my judgement. For a year and a half with him as my Agile Coach, I managed to grow dramatically in my personal and professional skills. I would not stop to praise him for everything he did for me and how he helped me move several levels up in my career path.
Alexander Tzonev
CTO, Managing Partner
I worked with Peter in various roles in the past and throughout his career. Peter is one of the most dedicated to learning people I’ve ever met. He is capable of understanding complex problems and find solutions. He started as a product manager and helped establishing the processes and drive the roadmap of the product we worked together on. Moving to PMO role made him even more passionate about Agile practices and optimizing the processes we use. Over the time he was a great partner and coach that helped structure the way we work, build the tools, and look ahead.
Makarand Purohit
Agile Coach
Peter is a true geek, a skilled linguist, an awesome coach and much much more. As a peer, I have seen him help our group grow by providing great insights, asking challenging questions and sharing his invaluable experiences and anecdotes. Our colleagues always found his deep agile knowledge and his unique way of teaching of immense value. He contributed significantly to the continuous improvement of the vital capabilities of the company. I have been fortunate to have him as my personal coach too. Every conversation I have with Peter leaves me enriched. I would recommend Peter highly for a coaching/leadership role aimed at building resilience.
Martin Tsotchev
CEO, Co-Founder
Peter is one of the most trustworthy, energetic, knowledgeable and exciting individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He was an exceptional Product Manager early on, providing his teams with a structured, methodical approach to growing the product he was responsible for. Thereafter, Peter switched roles to become Process Manager and Agile Coach for our Sofia team. Peter’s continuous effort to create, shape, improve and fine-tune the way we work was instrumental to our office in becoming an efficient, effective organization recognized and appreciated across the organization, our partners, the Bulgarian software community and beyond.
Should you need a high-energy, very intelligent, truly learned, very technical, dependable individual who can wear many hats (including, but not limited to Product Manager, Process Manager, Agile Coach, mentor, idea generator, systems architect, etc.,) I have no doubt you will be very happy with Peter and everything he will bring to your organization.
Kostadin Galabov
Senior Director, EMEA
I hired Peter years ago as an upcoming star employee and I am still in awe of his abilities and work ethics. He was the “go-to” person for the most challenging technical issues customers are facing and you can always count on him. His communication style and skills match, his extremely expert technical knowledge. Being a team player, Peter was also great at coaching and transferring knowledge to the teams he was a part of. He was always willing to go an extra step to help his colleagues in challenging times.
As an individual, Peter is extremely warm, pleasant and outgoing. He is a people person with a high level of commitment to his career and professional growth. Peter is a person that I would always recommend to anyone and I am very happy that he was one of the corner stones that our team’s success has been built upon.
Rich Bowman
Co-Founder, CEO
As VP of Global Customer Success, I continually leveraged our battle-tested technical experts to assure high levels of customer satisfaction with our complex enterprise products. And during my more than 5 years onsite managing the Bulgarian Engineering, Services and Support teams Peter proved to be the top go-to person globally to resolve the most challenging product issues.
Peter also routinely demonstrated superior coaching and knowledge transfer skills by training local and remote teams. He is always willing to go the extra 100 steps to help his colleagues 24×7. His easy, warm, pleasant and outgoing communication style, coupled with his engineering level technical skills and ability to defuse highly volatile customer situations was highly valued and unparalleled.
The 5 years of continuous improvement are a testimony to Peter’s contributions to customer satisfaction, product quality and operational excellence. I highly recommend Peter.
