In episode 21 of Pep Talk, Simon interviews Evgeny Shadchnev. Evgeny is an executive coach helping entrepreneurs to achieve transformational growth. As the founder and former CEO of a VC-backed startup, he worked with some of the world’s leading executive coaches before training with The Academy of Executive Coaching and launching his practice. In 2013, Evgeny started Makers, Europe’s first coding bootcamp, which has changed the lives of thousands of people by training them to become software developers and placing them in companies such as Deloitte, Google, and the BBC.
