04 /RECOMMENDATIONS

Leadership, seen by others.

From managers, colleagues and people I’ve led.

DIRECT MANAGER

I was Maksym Trokai’s direct manager at Metinvest Digital, where he built the IT Learning department from scratch and led it.

Maksym can put a team together, manage it, and work with stakeholders’ expectations.

Oleksandr Alimov

Direct manager · Metinvest Digital

Excerpt from a LinkedIn recommendation

Full recommendation

I was Maksym Trokai's direct manager at Metinvest Digital, where he built the IT Learning department from scratch and led it.

He set up the department's work: webinars and e-learning courses built as SCORM packages. The business units sent direct thanks for the courses on SAP SuccessFactors. The HR department was nominated for an SAP Global Award, and Maksym's team was invited to the ceremony, where their contribution to the project was noted. Maksym also designed application interfaces and ran AI training within the Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption project. He and his team prepared presentation materials and visual identity for external projects, including work with German clients.

Maksym can put a team together, manage it, and work with stakeholders' expectations. The products his department made were more competitive and considerably cheaper than comparable offerings on the market. He is also a creative person with a good sense of visual design and of how to present a product. I recommend him for roles in learning content, design, technology adoption and team management.
