We relied on Yuliya’s knowledge of Human Resources including payroll, benefits and workforce planning on a daily basis. She was a terrific asset as we grew our company from a 10 person organization in one city to a 100+ person company operating in numerous states.

Extremely responsive, helpful and thorough. Yuliya raised potential risk areas while balancing those risks with business needs and costs.
Kristin Barrett
COO, 1871
Yuliya led HR efforts not only for our VC firm but also for all of our portfolio companies, including Groupon, Chicago Ideas Week, Sprout Social, SnapSheet, Benzinga, and almost a hundred other rapidly growing businesses. Her integrity, professionalism and compassion for start-ups earned her respect and friendship amongst the entrepreneurial community.
Mike Mauceri
CFO, Lightbank
Yuliya managed all of our HR from the getgo. Together we grew from just 5 people to hundreds of employees and through several rounds of funding. Yuliya was always a breeze to work with. She understood our needs throughout our growth cycle and aligned her HR efforts to our company culture. Looking back, I can say that the HR foundation Yuliya set in our formative years helped us stay legally compliant and appealing to top talent.
