She did a bit of coding, database administration, project management, but was ready for more responsibility and challenges. \r\n\r\nSo seven years ago, she made the move to New York City from Madison, Wisconsin to join the professional services department at Varonis. \r\n\r\nWith limited experience speaking with external customers and basic training, Varonis entrusted her to deploy products as well as present to customers. Elena recalls, “Not every company will give you a chance to talk to external customers without prior experience….But it was Varonis that gave me that chance.”\r\n\r\nAccording to her manager, Ken Spinner:\r\n“Over the last 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Elena, first as a coworker in different departments, and most recently as the leader of our Remediation Team in our Professional Services department. Elena was uniquely qualified to lead the team as she had significant experience performing project management prior to planning and completing our first remediation projects. Elena’s knowledge was instrumental in defining the essence of the Varonis Data Risk Assessment, the process used by PS to perform remediation, as well as providing practical insight to Engineering during the development of the Automation Engine.”"}
