Testimonials
”Eugene is a genuine coach who is straightforward and doesn't just give you fluffy information. He is clearly very well versed in the world of tech and UX. His experience alone is proof that he knows what he is talking about. He rips the band-aid off and lets you know what's real when it comes to getting an investor's attention. I would highly recommend him not only to founders, but to anyone in UX who is trying to navigate corporate and find their voice. Eugene helped me understand how to craft my story and positioning, he gave me that investor's perspective. As a result of working with him, I am able to reframe the way I approach pitching and explaining my mission. Working with Eugene gave me a sudden clarity. I am forever grateful and I highly recommend him as a coach and leader.”
