What they say: people who worked with us

Sandugash has travelled around the world and brings a lot of experience from different organizations. This results in a lot of knowledge which she likes to share with the people around her.Dealing with highly changing environments she knows how to keep her head cool and keep oversight, while always being herself. She is a real gain to every team.

Essentium BV

I have come to know Sandugash during our mutual employment at InterTrustGroup. I have yet to meet another procurement specialist with the same knowledge and relentless will to get to the bottom of things as Sandugash.

CTO, AI

Sandugash has done an excellent job at Glencore Agriculture to help us establish our IT contracts portfolio as we separated the business from the holding company, so in quite a hectic environment. She was very professional, tough yet fair, and certainly a pleasure to work with. I loved working with Sandugash and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Interim, CIO

Sandugash assisted us during the submission phase of a proposal for a funded project, and we genuinely appreciate her invaluable guidance. Her dedication and insightful feedback on our proposal have been truly exceptional. I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and support, which have significantly influenced my professional growth and development.

Director of Operations and Finance

We have had the privilege of participating in a high-quality mentoring experience with Sandugash. Her qualifications are truly impressive, supported by extensive expertise in this specialized field. We are deeply appreciative of the opportunity to collaborate with her and benefit from her guidance. Sandugash provided valuable insights and assistance in navigating the intricacies of contracts. Her advice is invaluable, and we hope to successfully implement it in our future contractual endeavors.
