Iuliia Kolisnyk

My name is Iuliia and I'm a huge Salesforce fan. My journey with Salesforce began in 2010, and it has been a perfect match ever since. Before discovering Salesforce, I had extensive experience with various web technologies, but what truly captivated me was Salesforce's unique approach to solution-building. It challenges you to constantly think about the most effective implementation strategies. While there were (and still are :) ) many factors to consider and limitations to navigate, I find that these challenges often lead to elegant solutions. I love that Salesforce is constantly evolving the technology, you are always learning and growing.
I currently hold the full suite of certifications that allowed me to become a Salesforce Certified Application Architect, and am just two certifications away from becoming a Certified System Architect. I'm on my way!
My experience spans across the healthcare, financial services, education sectors, and I’ve recently added Agentforce to the mix. I'm passionate about opening new doors with Salesforce, exploring new areas, building strong customer relationships, seeing how our work makes clients happy, meeting new people, understanding their needs, and finding the best ways to help them achieve their goals.
