Bio
Filippo Yacob
I worked with Giorgia to develop Primo Toys' Education program from the ground up. Giorgia covered both hands on and strategic roles, developing not only our sales and distribution network, but also a universe of content necessary for our product to sell and be effectively utilised all over the world. Cubetto would not be where it is today, and our business would not have been successfully sold had it not been for Giorgia's efforts and dedication.

I worked with Giorgia when she was the Head of Education at PrimoToys. At the time, the school I co-founded was trying to implement the early programming skills teaching into its curriculum, so Giorgia was crucial in helping us with the introduction of Cubetto, a brilliant toy that conveys the principles of programming to pre-schoolers. She was one of the key speakers at the seminar organised in Belgrade for teachers on the Introduction of Cubetto into the early years classroom - she is a great communicator and a natural presenter! We also collaborated on writing of the blog articles on education, where she was an excellent editor and showed deep understanding of specific pedagogical issues related to introduction of modern subjects, such as computational thinking, into traditional pedagogies. I recommend Giorgia with great enthusiasm! She is a very talented person and suited for various roles and positions within education.
