Matthew Cantelon
Matthew CantelonTechnical Lead at Telus

Anatoly and I worked together on a team that wrote APIs to connect our website with legacy services deep in TELUS. Anatoly joined us in a time of crisis: we had no Scrum Master, no Product Owner, and only a team of developers and QA...

Thanks to Anatoly's hard work and diligence to keep us inline, we went from a disaster to a properly functioning team. Suddenly we had stories with actual Acceptance Criteria, all work was being done through Jira issues, we split the team in two to keep our standups focused, and we started to get trust from other teams...

Not only did Anatoly get us working together, he was an advocate for our needs. He was able to get our team a Product Owner as well as more developers. He worked behind the scenes to keep the chaos at bay for our team and he made sure we had the necessary information. Anatoly is the driving force behind a number of promotions that have occurred in the past year, my own included. Without his support, I don't believe I would have taken the risk to try something new and really push outside my boundaries...

Keep in mind, this is just my experience with Anatoly on one team. While at TELUS, he simultaneously supported two other teams who were in a similar or worse state. Working with Anatoly has been one of the best experiences in my career and I am sad to see him leave our team.

Brandi ShewAgile Coach at Spotify

... Dave brought positivity, passion, and
genuine care to his work and to the teams of people around him. As an Agile Coach, Dave's belief in
empowered, autonomous teams is obvious. He teaches agile practices as tools rather than dogma, and
helps teams build the muscles of delivery and self-organization. Add to this that Dave always finds a
way to build positive (and fun) relationships with everyone he works with, and you have a powerful
morale-boosting change agent on your hands...

Paola LouzadaProduct Manager at Hootsuite

I had the privilege of working in the same team as David for about 6 months. His energy, positivity,
knowledge and eagerness were the main characteristics that stood out for me....

He's helped our team with best practices, story pointing workshops, health checks and
ensured we were always working in the most effective manner...

I have a huge amount of respect for Anatoly, and his approach to working with agile teams. I had the pleasure of coaching alongside him, as we supported a number of teams through large organisational change. He is an incredibly focussed, observant, intelligent coach - who would continually & positively challenge the way I see the world. Really enjoyed our time working together, and look forward to collaborating again one day.

Jack LeeDirector of IT

Mark in short time was able to transform our legacy Jira Service Desk Setup workflow, to exactly what we outlined! I don't know what could we have done without him!
