I’ve known Maria Bondarenko for many years, and I can confidently say that her impact on my work as a musician and project organizer has been truly invaluable.

Thanks to her support, we’ve successfully developed dozens of wellness concerts and unique classical music experiences!

Working with Maria is not only professional but also deeply inspiring. She has a rare ability to balance creative vision with clear strategy, and she always listens attentively while offering meaningful guidance. I’m truly grateful for her insight, collaboration, and unwavering support. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a smart, reliable, and thoughtful partner in creative and educational ventures.

Empowered to Grow: A Great Mentor and True Professional

I am very grateful to Maria for all knowledge and skills which I gained with her help. When I came to GP Software.Travel, I was a QA with the desire to grow in Business Analysis and Project Management. Maria gave me this opportunity and helped a lot, while I was learning. A lot of valuable skills were obtained during her PMBA courses.

To me Maria was always an example of a person who can do thousand of tasks simultaneously - and do them well. Product management, project management, sales, couching of junior PMs and BAs, PMBA trainings - not a problem! Thanks, Maria, it was a great pleasure and highly-valued experience to work with you!
