Celebrating a Decade of Dedication: Veterans of OTGS

September 28, 2023

We are celebrating six of our OTGS team members who have been with us for an incredible decade. This is more than an anniversary—it’s a celebration of consistency, growth, and the unique magic that keeps our team strong.

Throughout the years, their invaluable contributions have shaped OTGS into a place that stands tall for its integrity, inclusivity, and a knack for getting things done. Our achievements wouldn’t be possible without all the exceptional OTGS team members who stand behind our range of products.

We’d like to give a huge shout-out to our wonderful, long-tenured team members Ana Couto, Andrey Klimanskiy, Amit Kvint, Andrea Sciamanna, Irina Sozonova, and Agnes Bury.

These team members truly embody our core values in a way that’s unique to them:

1. Putting quality first (#quality-first)

2. Delivering excellent support (#excellent-support)

3. Embracing open-mindedness & creativity (#open-mindedness-and-creativity)

4. Always bringing a positive attitude (#positive-attitude)

5. And being honest – every step of the way (#honesty)

But don’t just take our word for it. We asked our colleagues one important question. We hope that with their answers, you’ll gain a glimpse into who we are as a company and why we do what we do.

In a few words, what is the special magic that keeps you happy here, every day? 

Ana Couto, Systems IT team (joined in April 2013)

“I would say that what makes this 10 years remarkable is the power of teamwork. I feel that collaboration is the essence of our culture and together, we have tackled complex problems, celebrated victories, and shared countless moments of camaraderie. 

Our collective efforts have yielded innovative solutions that allowed us to grow.

The freedom to bounce ideas off one another, to challenge conventional thinking, and to embrace diversity of thought has fueled our creativity and propelled us forward. The incredible synergy within our team is something to highlight and cherish. 

I am eager to see what the future holds and excited to continue contributing to the success of this company. Here’s to many more adventures, achievements, and memories to come!”


“OTGS has been a significant part of my life for the past ten years and it has been an incredible journey. I know many people who have tried remote work and ended up returning to the traditional office or even completely changing their job.

However, I have found special magic in remote work that makes me happy every day. One of the things that I love about remote work is the flexibility it offers. I am responsible for my work, and I have the freedom to find approaches to make the clients also happy.

Andrey Klimanskiy, WPML Support team (joined in May 2013)

Another aspect of remote work that makes me happy is the work-life balance it provides.

The company and teammates have helped me grow in my career and have given me a sense of ownership over my work. The most crucial part is the people I am working with. I want to thank everyone for being a part of my journey.”

“Smart people, positive and focused approach to improvements and problem-solving, interesting, challenging, and mixed kinds of tasks, and the freedom that remote work offers.”

“Ten years at OTGS, huh? Time flies when you’re having fun! 

From my early days wrestling with WordPress to now, exploring the wilds of DevOps and AI, it’s been a ride.

I’ve worn so many hats here, it’s like my job has a wardrobe of its own. Supporter, project leader, tech explorer—you name it. And the best part is that each role comes with its own set of challenges and learning opportunities.

Andrea Sciamanna, Systems IT Team (joined in July 2013)

Since joining OTGS, I’ve met more interesting people and traveled more than I ever did. Here’s to more years of learning, growing, and having fun at OTGS. Can’t wait to see what’s next!”


Irina Sozonova, Admin/HR Team (joined in June 2013)

“I’ve always admired people at OTGS for their intelligence, dedication, and incredible personalities. They’re a true inspiration to me.

We have curated a group of people who are on the same page. I’m full heartedly grateful to OTGS for being able to have a big family and achieve goals, both career and personal, in such a fabulous and friendly environment.”


Agnes Bury, Client Advocate (joined November 2013)

“I like the company culture and the people I work with. It’s a pleasure to work with smart people who care.

I also like that what we do as the company helps so many people around the world.”
