Lilly M. Dobreva

„Had the absolute pleasure to build the new native InterNations app together with Lilly. She was the product owner of this great initiative. As an engineer I appreciated how organised every task were along the road. I always felt confident that we as a team would be able to deliver on time and the commitment had been carefully thought through and well documented. Lilly invites people from different disciplines to contribute and improve the quality of product. I could always count on Lilly that she would have profound knowledge about the product and be able to back up statements with data or experience. The fact that she's technically well orientated made communication with Lilly a breeze. I hope for the chance again to have Lilly as a product owner. I'm fascinated by her positive energy, ownership of product and ability to effectively make changes when necessary.“

„I had the sincere pleasure to work closely with Lilly for two years, and am happy to offer her my strongest recommendation as product manager, leader, and teammate. Lilly and I lead a team responsible for building the new InterNations mobile app. Lilly's contributions were not only indispensable and effective, but more importantly, how she did her work was sincere, collaborative, and inspiring. Adaptability, pragmatism, and creating a culture of innovation are all critical skills to have when leading an agile team faced with so many unknowns, and it was a blessing to find these abilities in abundance in Lilly. As a teammate, Lilly is the type of person who naturally positions herself to make those around her more successful and effective—she tackles the random jobs that no one else wants to do but need to get done nevertheless—Lilly will take on any role if it helps the team and product succeed. For these reasons and too many more to include here, I am grateful to Lilly for being a fantastic colleague, and I would certainly appreciate another opportunity to work together with her again in the future.“
