Yuri Galperin
VP of Software Engineering
Working with Art has been invaluable for my growth as a leader. When we started, I knew I needed to shift from being the person who always promoted others to someone who could confidently assert my own leadership. Art immediately saw that too and challenged me to start owning my value more visibly.
What I really appreciated about Art’s coaching style is how he holds space for honest reflection while also pushing you to move forward. One of the biggest takeaways for me was learning to confront blockers head-on instead of making excuses. That mindset shift alone has helped me become more focused and resilient.
