Elena Kopanarova, Senior Project Manager, is celebrating 15 years at OECON GROUP. To mark this special anniversary, we asked her a few questions about her experience and career journey.
How would you describe your professional development since you started at OECON GROUP?
When I first joined OECON GROUP, I was full of enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to take on various roles and participate in significant projects.
My experience has evolved from my initial position as a project assistant to a senior management role where I now lead teams and manage large European programs.
What were the biggest challenges you faced during your 15 years at the company?
One of the biggest challenges was managing projects with limited resources and strict deadlines.
Additionally, adapting to the constantly changing requirements of European programs and managing multicultural teams were challenges that helped me develop my skills and become more flexible.
What moment in your career at OECON GROUP stands out to you the most?
One of the most memorable moments was when we successfully completed a large European program that had a significant impact on the local community. The satisfaction I felt seeing the results of our work and the recognition from our partners was priceless.
What advice would you give to a new employee starting in the field of European programs?
My advice to a new employee starting in the field of European programs is to be open to learning and not afraid to take initiative. It is important to understand the processes and requirements of the programs, as well as to develop time and resource management skills. Additionally, collaboration and communication with the team are key to success. Always remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and improvement.
