Georgi Smarts
12 years leading IT, data and project initiatives at HP (later Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and VMware (later Broadcom). 400K+ learners. 57 courses. 89K+ reviews.
I’m Georgi. For over a decade I worked for some of the world’s largest technology companies, delivering international IT and data programs, leading cross-functional teams, and using the same project management, data and AI tools that employers now expect professionals to know.
Today I teach those skills to people who want to move their careers forward. Everything in my courses comes from real enterprise work, not theory.
Who my courses are for
You want to grow in your current role. You’re aiming for a promotion, a bigger scope, or a seat at the table where decisions are made. I’ll teach you the skills that make you the person your team relies on.
You want to change careers. You’re moving into data or an AI-focused role, maybe from a completely different field. I’ll give you a clear path, the practical skills employers look for, and the confidence to talk about them in an interview.
What I teach
AI for professionals. Use AI tools to work faster, plan better and make sharper decisions. This is fast becoming a baseline expectation in every role, and an advantage for those who learn it early.

My personal experience taking this course is good. The course is very informative. This course is a good match and I hope that I will learn a lot from these presentations.

Need to refresh the Gartner MQ for MDM, recently reintroduced in 2026. The dynamics of the competing platforms has evolved significantly enough to also do a refresh on the course point-of-view on each product's optimal fit.

I have started a couple other similar courses but never completed because the material was all over the place and the instructor was hard to follow - not this one!
By Shardool Satam on 3/18/2026
This course has been very informative so far. Being a Data Governance and Data Management consultant, I knew the basics of Master Data but never had any deep dive experience or learnings when it came to benefits, drawbacks, implementation approaches, MDM tools landscape etc. The trainer is pretty knowledgeable and well paced in his presentations. This course has been by far the most comprehensive end-2-end course in MDM I have encountered so far.
By John Paul Q. Dolar on 2/27/2026
This is a very useful course. I like the part where you are given a quiz after every topic to ensure that you have learned something from each topic. The practice test and role play is also helpful as they assess your learning. Thank you.

Master Data Management (MDM) is anchored on key concepts like data governance and the golden record, which ensure that information is accurate, consistent, and responsibly managed. Data governance provides the rules and accountability that safeguard integrity, while golden records establish a single source of truth that organizations can rely on for decision-making. Together, they strengthen organizational effectiveness by promoting trust, efficiency, and collaboration. As learners and practitioners, may we continue to embrace these principles not only in theory but in practice sharing knowledge with others, especially those who may not yet have access to these insights. In doing so, we help build organizations and communities that are more transparent, inclusive, and resilient.

The lecturer's explanation on the subject matter is clear and precise, and this makes each segment easy to grasp. In addition, he also focuses on all players and trends to give constructive recommendations.
By Stefan Tkalcevic on 1/8/2026
very intresting. on some points its not deep enough or it repeats basic topics, whats absolutely fine. I wished kind of more deep dive but there ara l lot of different courses shown at the end of this course which I will take.
