I stay impressed with Anastasia’s strategic thinking and her way of steering the human resources operations and projects, being in aligment with the business goals and therefore deliver results.
Dimitris Tzimas is one of the most talented, competent, hardworking and reliable colleagues I have had the opportunity to work with.
I know Dimitris since his early professional steps with PepsiCo-HBH back in the 90’s. Excellent character with values & ethics, respect , integrity and effectiveness. He always managed to make those who have been working with him colleagues, peers, boss, subordinates etc.) feel good and deliver their very best.
Dimitris Tzimas embodies the concept of a true ‘partner’, a beloved colleague that takes the pleasure to deliver outstanding results in the right way.’A collaborator at heart, that finds pleasure in Delivering Outstanding results in the RIGHT way.
Human resources management in PepsiCo is quite a demanding task. It takes someone of great talent, creativity and perseverance to succeed as HR Director in this field, and Anastasia not only succeeded, but exceeded expectations. During her tenure for Central Europe & Balkans, she was instrumental in handling the merge of PepsiCo and PBG / PAS by bringing together different Cultures while breathing new life into the Organization. It has been said that if you want something done, ask the busiest person in the room to do it.
It has also been said that withinmost organasations, 80 percent of the work gets done by 20 percent of the people. Those two maxims came to be because of people like Dimitris Tzimas. Dimitris always amazed mein PepsiCo with all the hard work and dedication he has put into his professional activities.
