Олена Петренко

I had the pleasure of working Olena; from day 1 she showed professionalism and assisted with a startup with setting up financial processes which have been beneficial to the company. She has also shown competence in her field as CFO.

Olena is one of a kind. She has very high standards for herself and others, and won't stop until they are met. She does not only bring a lot of COO/CFO skills and experience of scale-ups from 20 to 700 people, but also can explain and implement the learnings of these experiences. She is always available, spot on and has a very warm heart. I can absolutely recommend her for scale-ups that want to professionalize fast, or already have high standards. I think in the COO/CFO combination she adds the most value, as it is almost wasted opportunity to only use her CFO knowledge, and not the COO part. Happy to assist for referral calls.

I had the pleasure of working with Olena as my executive coaching client, and I am truly impressed by her drive, strategic mindset, and pro-active approach. What sets Olena apart is her natural leadership instinct and a keen understanding of operational dynamics. I believe that her eagerness to take on challenges and deliver results makes her an ideal candidate for a COO role. During our coaching program, I witnessed her dedication to expanding her skill set and knowledge, particularly in areas crucial for a Chief Operating Officer such as operational efficiency, technology aptitude, and cross-functional collaboration. Moreover, Olena has an immense knowledge and experience in fin-tech world. On a personal level she is a great person to work with - full of integrity, commitment but also great sense of humor and kind person, a one you need to have in your team.
