I worked with Alexander in 2018-2019. It was an excellent chance for me as I was a full-time student at that moment. All my work was remote. Despite the remote format, the working process was well organized by Alexander, and we never had any problems. I get all the information and tasks on time to do my job correctly. Alexander always follows up the process and stayed in touch to answer any questions. As a designer, I would like to thank Alexander for his openness to introduce some new design, some unique infographics, to trust in me and my abilities to do my job at the top level. He always told me, “Do your best. I know you can do it.” Such trust was very motivating, he never been a boss, but always stayed close even remotely, like he was a close friend of mine. I was still sure that my work would be well appreciated but reasonably commented if something should be improved. I want to thank Alexander for such a great experience and recommend anybody to work with him. He is a great team leader.

I’ve worked with Alexander in several projects and continue to be amazed by his industry knowledge, work ethic, optimism and stamina. He has been and continues to be my prioroty information source in regards of analytics, for which I am both glad and grateful. I advise anyone looking for insight into the future of the automotive industry to contact him as he’s proven to me time and time again that he has the answers today. I’m proud to offer him my highest recommendation.

I worked in Alexander’s team for almost 4 years, during this period we’ve accomplished a wide range of various projects: created automotive TCO (Total cost of ownership) calculator, held numerous price researches, prepared annual reports related to drivers’ and professionals’ behavior in Russia and Eastern Europe markets. Moreover, we carried out mystery shopping projects for several car manufacturers to identify the “black and grey import” of spare parts market. It was always exciting to work with Alexander, as being probably the best automotive market experts in all eastern Europe and one of the most experienced analysts in the world, he could provide up-to-date independent information about the automotive market, share fresh ideas and give valuable advice to the clients. While managing our team Alexander proved himself as a reliable friend who could help in complicated situations, as well as a wise and responsible leader attentively committed to both his clients and employees. Been highly self-motivated Alexander can spread his passion to work among the team. Alexander constantly helped me in searching for useful information, establishing relations with data suppliers, settling difficult situations with clients and counterparties. He created a positive work atmosphere in our team, strictly clarified his tasks, set reasonable deadlines and reached central office financial goals. Also, he put a lot of effort to help the team stay well educated, pushing to have different kinds of training from language courses to very specific analyst training. It is also worth mentioning his advanced communication skills – TOP managers of well-known cars, parts, lubricants, tires manufacturers regularly attended his presentations, training and followed his advice, creating a lot of additional values for their companies. I would like to recommend Alexander as a highly-skilled professional with one of the best expertise in the automotive sector in the world and as a great leader, who can inspire his team to reach outstanding results.

He is very qualified in Analytics, and he is aware of market trends and strategic development of the Aftermarket as well. He is very open-minded. And at the same time, he is a modest and learned man, inventor and skilled professional.
