Bio
Steven Hong
I had the pleasure of working with Paola for four years at JUUL as her Consumer Insights partner. As a stakeholder on many research projects, she was a valuable contributor because of her strategic mindset and focus on the consumer. As well, the marketing team recognized her increasing contribution through several promotions. At each level, she worked hard to prove that she was ready for the next. One thing I always appreciated about her marketing skill set was that she combined traditional big brand know-how from Diageo with the startup go-fast ability required in the tech industry. She'd be an asset to any organization.

I had the pleasure of working with Paola on multiple product launches at JUUL. She was my go to person for launch plans, goal and timelines. She was a trusted and reliable partner whose "can do" attitude ultimately enabled success in our demanding and hyper growth organization. I would be thrilled to work with her again and any organization would be lucky to have her!
