Senior Project Manager
Concord, NC

Avalon is a certified project manager and Salesforce consultant who has planned and delivered Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Lightning Experience solutions for the past seven years. He is consistently chosen as a trusted adviser and driven to surpass organizational goals while creatively influencing and motivating others to do the same.

Toptal provides me with the exciting opportunity to work with global technology companies and inspire start-ups alike. And with Toptal, I’m able to concentrate on my passion projects: building client partnerships and supporting awesome design and development teams.

Krasimir Hristozov

Product Manager
Ruse, Bulgaria

Krasimir has been programming and leading software development teams for 15 years — using mostly PHP and other custom-built and off-the-shelf frameworks. He has experience with startups/small teams and can comfortably fill in multiple roles (web developer, product manager, project manager, system analyst, and business analyst). He is a big proponent of clean coding and following best practices for software development.

Toptal lets me focus on what I do best: running web development projects and building remote teams for my clients. Toptal flawlessly handles all marketing, administrative and billing processes so I can work with peace of mind.

Richard Forsythe

Project Manager

Richard’s success as a product manager adds a “whole-product” perspective to his development projects, coordinating development, QA, graphic design, and release management. He has demonstrated experience with agile software development initiatives in a variety of roles: Project Manager, Programmer, and Test Engineer. Richard's experience with technology dates back to when he learned to program on a Commodore PET and ZX Spectrum.

There’s nothing more exciting than leading a talented team to make a client’s vision a reality. Toptal introduces me to clients, both large and small, who are looking to build something amazing, while also connecting me to the talent to complete these projects successfully. All this combined with the flexibility that comes from working remotely makes Toptal my go-to network.
