Trusted Leadership Advisor in strategy, team effectiveness, and people processes for growth-stage tech companies.

We worked with Sota on a strategic session in a new format involving our Board and shareholders, as well as on transforming our quarterly planning.
Sota helped us structure both sessions effectively, guiding focus toward strategic goals. As a result, we shaped a clear, actionable strategy that can now be cascaded into concrete objectives.
A significant amount of time was dedicated to preparation in close collaboration with our CEO and the entire Board. This thorough approach allowed us to get the most out of both sessions.
We especially appreciated collaboration with Katya and Marina — it was constructive and insightful. They shared their expertise and perspective generously, allowing us to tailor the process to the company’s specifics.
It was a truly valuable experience. Many thanks to the team!

What I appreciate most is that we can always come to SOTA with any people-related question, and they offer practical answers and best practices. They quickly grasped our setup and culture, taking ownership of key initiatives such as the HR audit, HR function design, mentorship for our internal HR team, referral program development, and a team effectiveness workshop for our entire product team. They effectively acted as an interim HRD - efficient and business-oriented.
Knowing we can come to you with any
people-related question and receive thoughtful, experience-backed advice grounded in both
best practices and real-world application is incredibly reassuring.
Thank you for being reliable, business-minded partners. We are deeply grateful for your
contribution.

I engaged SOTA to deliver a leadership development program for my young team, and it exceeded expectations. The course was highly interactive and customized to address our specific needs. Starting with an analysis of the team’s business goals, we progressed through leadership development sessions that were both insightful and practical.

During the strategy facilitation, it felt very natural to work with Kate and it was great that she was not only able to moderate the process but also had a very good understanding of the actual topics we discussed. Team members mentioned an overall atmosphere of trust and respect, everyone had an opportunity to speak and to contribute.

We chose Kate for our company’s strategic session and her approach was grounded in a powerful methodology. Thank you, Kate!

Thank you so much for expertly leading our leadership team's strategic session. Your skill in steering us towards our goals, keeping us focused on outcomes, and managing our discussions with just the right touch of conflict was incredibly effective.
I really appreciate your professionalism and deep insights into leadership and strategy and our personal and team strengths. We're grateful for your input and excited about working together again.

We made a StrengthsFinder session together - the team was thrilled, we learned about each other from a new angle, it was insightful, and brought the team to a new level of сonfidence and trust.

And while working on the strategy, I especially want to praise Katya for using innovative mechanics and tools, as well as for her flexibility and customized approach. Kate redesigned the team's steps to make sure that the process led us to the desired result - clearly defined goals, precise objectives, and key results. I've had a great pleasure to participate in the magic of team strategizing navigated by Kate.
