What Clients Are Saying
I had the pleasure of working with Polina Toropova on a complex Horizon Europe proposal where she led our effort with clarity, empathy, and pace. Polina is that rare combination of strategist and doer: she frames the problem, aligns diverse partners, translates research into actionable work plans, and delivers spotless drafts on time.
A great bid leader and coordinator! It is seldom that someone remains so organised, structured and on point throughout the entire process of proposal submission. It is a pleasure working with Polina
