Bio
Anya King
I have had the pleasure of working with Gianna over this past 11 months. She originally came to help us for 3 months, and I have been trying to keep her ever since. Gianna is one of the best strategic suits I have worked with. She has the perfect balance of strategic capability matching her Clients business goals and needs to the right solutions, leadership qualities that result in a highly motivated team that go the extra mile for her, and tremendous at building Client relationships. She does all this with the most unflappable character I have worked with. She is a huge asset to whom ever is lucky enough to get her!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Gianna on a pan-European retail bank website re-design project. As a project manager without design experience, Gianna’s role as solution principle was invaluable for me, whilst also providing assurance to the client. Gianna offered expertise in the project phase deliverables: creative brief, user journeys, design scamps and final designs. She ensured each phase was professionally delivered and signed off by the stakeholder group. A challenge that should not be taken lightly given the geo-dispersion of the team and their cultural differences. The project was successfully delivered with numerous compliments from the head of e-Channels – our key stakeholder. As a recognised creative specialist both in strategy and delivery, I highly recommend Gianna to own or advise such projects. She excites the team, instils confidence with the client and maintains unwavering delivery acumen.
