Colleagues describe him as "As Director of Engineering for Tradeshift Buy I have been working closely with Alexandre Zarubin in the role of Engineering Manager employed by Setronica for 1 and a half years. I have come to know Alexandre as a highly competent technical manager, with a sharp eye for both the technical, the process, and the human aspect of software development. Alexandre manages his employees with a great amount of empathy and knowledge on how to motivate people. He is keenly aware of creating the best working conditions for his teams - involving them when appropriate, shielding them when needed. He is very knowledgeable both practically and theoretically around how to work with people in teams, which is at the heart of building software in larger organizations. As a technical leader Alexandre knows how to bridge the technical side with the business side of things. He can dive into the technical discussion, able to challenge the engineers to reach the best conclusions possible, but also knows when to back off and let the team drive themselves. At the same time he has always managed to build a strong and trusting relationship with the business representatives. Alexandra is also well into the various agile software development methodologies and knows the pitfalls and how to apply them well. He has very good English skills, and a strong all round skill set. He has a very professional attitude to the work at hand, and is very dedicated to making the business successful. In short, I can highly recommend working with Alexandre Zarubin in a technical leadership position. Both as a colleague and business partner."
