Having around 8 years of practical experience in the management of multilateral development bank-funded infrastructure projects, I decided to challenge myself and try becoming a certified project manager. After reviewing the worldwide recognition of different certification options, I have decided to pursue the Project Management Professional credential offered by the Project Management Institute.

There was a long journey ahead, and it would have been difficult to reach the destination without the tremendous support of Mrs. Lela Machaidze. It is worth mentioning that, besides being an expert in project management, she is truly passionate about the field. I believe this is what makes her stand out from the crowd. Being one of the students at the PMP exam preparation course in 2019, I have benefited from the possibility of being guided by her through the PM practices, tools & techniques, as well as the exam specifics with keen attention to detail. Even more valuable about my experience with Mrs. Machaidze is that she is also a highly skilled motivator and influencer, maintaining a positive attitude at all times.
