Bio
Stefan Hodgson-Grove
Carolina is a trusting, empathetic and brave leader. Whilst working for her in a number of roles over the last 5-6 years, she has always been a calm and assuring presence. She was my mentor, hiring me in to one of my first management roles and developing me in to a manager of multiple teams. A brilliant developer of people, as well as an outstanding creative mind. Carolina never stood back from making tough decisions that would ultimately benefit the company. One thing I admired was the amount of thought she would put in to those big decisions which meant the execution was always smooth. Any company would be lucky to hire Carolina.

Trusting me to work autonomously and put my experience into practice yet supportive to ensure I could do my best work and achieve my goals, Carolina was an inspiring leader and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of her large design team. Well respected from junior designers to senior stakeholders, Carolina’s focus on creativity within the department along with encouraging efficiency and driving change for the better made the design team a productive and thriving place to be. Carolina listened to her team and acted on feedback from employee surveys and advocated for them within the business. Carolina and I worked closely on a range of large scale projects and her requirements were always clear, thorough and well thought out. We were able to achieve a number of successful results with the project teams and I really enjoyed working together. A real asset to both design and a business, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carolina.
