"Costa Avradopoulos is an individual of high ethical standards...a man of his word. I always enjoyed working with Costa, because I knew I could count on him to do what he said he would do. He is a quick study and it was great to work with someone who "got it" right away. His depth of technical expertise will serve anyone well and he has a reputation for getting things done on time or ahead of schedule. He has a very good work ethic and from past experience I recommend him highly."
Dick L.President of a Phoenix-Based Media Company
"Costa is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate evangelists of mobile testing technology that I have ever met. He is richly knowledgeable in this space, and I have learned from him with every interaction. He has the admirable ability to converse from the strategic level, right down to hands-on nuances of mobile testing. I have seen him to be a positive team collaborator, always ready to extend a helping hand in any situation. Costa is an asset to any organization wanting to establish or improve a mobile testing team."
Sundar N.Executive at a Fortune 500 Technology Company
"I have found Costa to be a person of clear vision and has the overall betterment of the organization at the forefront of what he does. He is a capable leader of QA and worked very collaboratively with the development and engineering teams to a) educate them on QA methodology and process and b) ensure they understood what he and his teams were doing and why they were doing it. Costa also handled himself very well under stressful situations - QA is often a difficult role because QA can receive a high degree of blame when implementations don't go well, but seldom get appropriate thanks when implementations go flawlessly."
Daniel Z.Fortune 500 Financial Company
"Costa always understood the underlying business need that we were trying to address and offered up options to do so. He was able to take complex issues and explain them in a way that non-technical people could understand. This allowed us to take action on numerous issues before they were revealed to the public in a release. Costa is a top notch technically minded individual with a strong work ethic."
