It was a great experience to get advice from Andrei. He was extremely knowledgeable and I am excited to jump on the phone with him again in the very near future.

Great call! I wish I would have spent more time listening and less time talking! Andrei offered an objective take on consumer attitudes and possible engagement with my product. I am inspired and motivated. Thanks for the MVP/Eric Reis tip, Andrei! Just ordered the book!

Andrei is an smart, conscientious product manager who took ownership of a broad range of tasks at myfico.com. He drove growth in our subscriber base by managing partnerships, new products and business model adaptations. Andrei has a great business sense and interest in leveraging the latest trends to grow the business. He is fun to work with too! I highly recommend Andrei.

Andrei was a great colleague to work with at MOG. He has that rare combination of being both incredibly intelligent and a great person and team player. He added immeasurable value to the business development efforts with his insightful financial analyses and business acumen

Jeremy Stern Source: LinkedIn

I worked with Andrei since I started at MOG and he was instrumental in building our business by providing financial insights and analysis as we grew. Andrei and his team launched our music network in 2008 signing up our first partner sites.

As with most small companies he wore many hats at MOG including Marketing and Business Development. Andrei understands the digital landscape and has what it takes to be at the ground level of a start-up. He's a creative thinker with strong attention to detail and would be an asset to any company.

Alex Brough Source: LinkedIn

Andrei was a key driver to the success of MOG and we'd have never gotten so far without him. His diverse skill-set and ability to oversee everything from modeling, finance, business development, and marketing is rare to find. I'd highly recommend Andrei to any start-up looking to take their company to the next level.
