I worked with Claudia for over a year implementing OPICS. At the time, she was responsible to manage two new implementations both with limited resources and under a very hostile environment.

Claudia was my manager during an implementation project. First, she is a nice and friendly person. Second, she really has the ability and skills to work in very difficult and complex environments. She was very smart when dealt with tough clients, and got all the patience in the world. Definitively she was a key player.
