"At the time, my mind was confused and I lacked an experienced interlocutor to help me make sense of the situation. As a result of business therapy, I got a clear picture of the present and different scenarios for the future. It certainly helped me structure my thoughts, coolly assess my opportunities and potential risks and make the right decision. An entrepreneur often sees no other options but one. Alexander gives you freedom of choice, because he knows how to look at the situation from the outside and find really cool opportunities in it. Alexander clearly visualizes and thinks systematically, so complex and confusing situations can be entrusted to him. In addition, it is easy and relaxing to talk to him. Alexander's business therapy is sure to be useful to many founders and CEOs".

Ivan Yevtushenko, CEO Treeum, a FinTech company that owns Finance.ua и Minfin.com.ua.

“I did not have a clear request, but rather a vague concern. For a long time I had doubts about how to ask, though I understood that a look from the outside would help me. Through our dialogue, I was able to accurately express all my concerns and prescribe clear steps to address them. Alexander has a quick mind and he is very open, which allows him to see the situation out of the box. Alexander is competent and can be trusted. I know for a fact that it is a super positive ROI - to get an important insight in such a short time, which some people can take many years to achieve.”.

“What will change? What kind of product will we get at the end?" — I doubted on the eve of our one-day session. As a result of business therapy there definitely was a boost in team spirit and productivity. The people were no longer afraid to tell the truth to their face, and we became more open and goal-oriented. Most of all, I liked the way Alexander dug into the details and forced us to come up with cool conclusions :) A kind of a session of corporate psychologist ;) Whatever I write here pales in the background of the real value for the company. I would recommend Alexander's services to mature companies that have found out their problems and need such a doctor ;) I think we'll meet soon again!

Alexander Kokhanovsky, CEO and founder of ZeroGravity Group and DreamTeam platform, founder of NAVI eSports team, former co-owner of ESforce Holding.

“Before the strategy session, I had some doubts whether Alexander would be able to dive deep into our operations, clear out who in our company is responsible and for what. Here we succeeded in everything by 120%, we even got tips on working with investors. At the beginning I also wanted the business therapist to give me direct recommendations, but it does not work that easy. As a result of the session, I got clarity on the root of the problem and an action plan how to fix things. I recommend Alexander's business therapy to all founders for clarifying goals and restructuring roles during the growth and transformation of the company”.

Valery Grabko, co-founder and COO of PromoRepublic, SaaS-service for content marketing automation in social networks.

“This was my first time using the services of a business therapist. So I didn't really understand what to expect. As a result, I gained an awareness of my value as an entrepreneur and realized that there are far more investors and investment money than there are good projects. Alexander has the rare patience to listen and the ability to hear. I appreciated his experience and understanding of how investment funds and the financial market in general work. I really benefited and therefore recommend Alexander's services to all entrepreneurs”.

Eduard Akhramovich, founder and general producer of Art Nation,
a leader in brand licensing, animation production, AR content
and loyalty campaigns.

“Before engaging Alexander, I doubted If he could feel the entrepreneurial culture of our company. It turned out that Alexander quickly understands the client and finds a common language. At the same time, he maintains a "therapeutic" distance, which is ethical and right. Alexander moderated a number of strategic sessions, during which our team took a deep dive into non-standard models for building a distribution channel. As a result, we managed to hold good negotiations with key market players, looked decent and laid a strong foundation for further development. Most of all I liked Alexander's focus on the end result and his rare ability to quickly focus without losing depth. It was also useful to cross-check similar experiences in other businesses and industries. I trust Alexander and recommend his services to other CEOs.”.

Dmytro Kashpor, CEO of Adama Ukraine, part of the Syngenta Group, a leading manufacturer of plant protection products and seeds

“Despite my dislike of consultants of all sorts, it was Sasha's approach that years ago gave me the feeling that real add value consulting should look exactly this way. And when he began his practice I started to refer people to him and in 100% of cases I got great feedback. Once I had to lead a strategic session in one of the portfolio companies with a difficult founder, but I could not do it physically and I doubted my ability to cope with this,I did not hesitate to give it to Sasha and did not come up trumps. In short, if you need a business therapist, board member, strategy adviser or facilitator — here he is!”.

Denis Dovgopoly, founder of Unicorn Nest, a global database of venture capital funds.

“Regarding the strategy session, my concern was "Will the investment of our time and money (ROI) pay off?" Alexander helped actualize the personal goals of the co-founders and the goals of the company, and then synchronize them all together. He acted as a catalyst for the difficult discussions we kept putting off. I liked his facilitation, conversation control, and framework. The result was a clear picture of where and for what we were going, and what everyone could bring to the table along the way. After the session, we reviewed the responsibilities of the co-founders, implemented corporate governance practices, and strengthened the board of directors. It's easy for me to recommend Alexander's services because he really helped us”.

Max Pechersky, co-founder and CEO of PromoRepublic, а SaaS-service for content marketing automation in social networks.

“Sometimes there's just no one to talk to about serious business topics. After all - the right question asked to yourself is often a half of the solution. It is useful to everyone, but especially to owners. As a result of business therapy with Sasha, I got a compass adjustment and clarity in my head. I like his calmness, sincerity and ability to listen. In addition, Sasha has an interesting mix of knowledge from business and sports. It's not just a conversation with a psychologist, but an honest discussion with a deep understanding of business. Sasha does the right and useful thing. That's why for me his services are easy to recommend”.

Dmitry Bondar, founder of FastForward, MBA Strategy, MBA25 and GoGMAТ companies.

“Before we started our work, I was concerned that Alexander did not have enough experience in our subject area (MarTech SaaS B2B). As a result of business therapy, I got the focus of my own efforts and the team on the bottlenecks. It was especially valuable to me that Alexander forms an independent judgment and is able to brightly illuminate the essentials. I also liked his thoughtful approach and clear examples in communication, without any unnecessary tinsel. I can recommend working with Alexander to entrepreneurs who think their problems are unique and no one understands them

Vlad Flax, founder and CEO of OWOX, Top 3 SaaS platforms for marketing analytics in the world.

“Alexander has a unique skill — listening. Even from the most abstract problem that seemingly would require a long introduction to an outsider, he is able to draw out its very essence, describe and show it from different angles. At the same time, despite his vast experience, he does not impose his vision, but works with the client's view of the world. The depth of the questions helps you to immerse yourself in the problem at a completely different level. At the same time Alexander managed to accumulate all the information that I "poured out" and without losing anything important, he transformed all this into comprehensible models. All over again I assure myself that the most complicated and confusing questions which I can resolve myself for months can be answered rather quickly if you know who to talk to) I strongly recommend Alexander as a business therapist and a wise interlocutor”.

Dmitry Karchuk, Executive Director of CEO Club Ukraine

“Alexander has been helping us as agency' shareholders to manage the company transformation as well as to define partners' roles within the organisation. Partly due to that we have managed to transform agency on both organisational and cultural levels successfully. So I highly recommend Alexander as a "sparring partner" to adjust company' strategic vision, owners'/partners' roles, clarify growth points”.

Roman Gavrish, co-founder of a strategic marketing agency Aimbulance that became x3 most effective digital agency of the year according to Effie Awards Ukraine and x4 "digital agency #1" as chosen by Ukrainian advertisers.

“It's great if you have good connections and you can just write to someone who is older and more experienced, 'Can I invite you to a cup of coffee, tell you the situation and ask for advice?' That's what I could do and I did. And every time I felt uncomfortable because I was taking away attention and time without giving anything in return. Even if you're lucky enough to have this opportunity, it's wrong to abuse it. It turns out that there is a healthy version of such relationship: "business therapy." In my current case this is a mix of a business consultant, a psychologist and a coach because in my new project I am still a Solo Founder and I do everything myself. As a result of my cooperation with Sasha, I got a fresh perspective and interesting questions. I think that the opportunity to buy the attention of a person whose task is to get into your context for reasonable money is fantastic.”

Igor Andreychin, founder of Homemoney.ua, a SaaS home accounting service and founder of Reflektion, a minimalist light sculpture project (German Design Award Winner 2020).

“As a result of working with Alexander, I got a working business model that seemed to be maturing inside me, but could not get a license to live. With precise and attentive questions, all my thoughts and hopes around the future direction were brought to the surface and put down on paper. And a strong feeling that I, not a business therapist, is the author of the idea. And that's why I'm happy to implement it - it's not some "external business plan."

I liked the surgically precise and painful questions about the prospects of the existing business model. I liked the questions about the way to develop a new model of work, its uniqueness, competitiveness and the place of my business in this model. I liked the simulation "What will happen if you give up X, Y, Z?". Various simulation scenarios have expanded my inner space for decision making and helped me come to terms with the final decision”.

“By the way, I remembered our 30-minute meeting and realized that you had straightened my head with two questions )). Seriously — since then I stopped worrying about making a product out of outsourcing. Thank you )”.
