As a growing professional, having Renata's counsel and mentorship by my side has been truly invaluable. Renata does not take her responsibilities as a mentor lightly, and is truly committed and invested in the success of those who she chooses to mentor. I value her sincere reliability - just recently I needed some guidance on professional decision and reached out to Renata, she offered me her full attention calling me on a Sunday to discuss.

Having Renata as a mentor and bringing her on as an advisor has been a change for the better. I am honored to receive her feedback in all types of forms and shapes.

She has a talent of making the right connections and seeing beyond the initial first impressions.

We regularly hire Renata to mentor the clients of our recruiting company who want to work in the venture capital industry. As a recruiter, I'd like to point out that Renata always tries to learn as much as possible about her mentees' background, motives and drives for a career change before giving any advice. Renata has extensive domain knowledge and expertise in venture capital investing, financial analysis and planning. Not only can she give an overview of a subject, but she also shares some very specific details, which cannot be learned unless one has been deeply immersed in the industry.

Renata has been very instrumental in helping our company get theright exposure during our funding search. She provided deepinsights into our business model and helped us drive our businessplan to the next level. Renata has an enormous amount of energyand focuses it very well on her client's needs.

Not only is Renata a vibrant speaker, but she is also an dedicated coach. No matter how many people she speaks to — a hundred or just one — she sticks to the point and gives valuable advice. I turned to Renata for help with a sensitive situation at work, and her analysis gave me a clear understanding what should be done and what is in my best interests.

Renata has an extraordinary ability to deconstruct complex fact patters and rearrange them in a manner that offers an entirely new perspective. Without breaking my vision, she has set me on the right track and helped me clarify the project I've been working on. She possesses a rare mix of knowledge, skills and experience that could be extremely valuable to any company…
