Bio
Diego Vailati Venturi
Kiki is a very experienced HR leader. She is very focused, determined, results driven and with a very sharp mind. I had the pleasure to collaborate with Kiki for more than 3 years and I really enjoyed working with such an open, proactive and reliable person. But what strikes me most of Kiki is her high level of commitment, the courage to take tough decisions to pursue her objectives, the passion she puts in everything she does and, eventually, her 'hunger' for learning and continuing to grow and develop herself. I really hope to have the opportunity to work with Kiki again in the future, in the meantime, I wish her all the best!

Kiki impressed me with her ability to be more than an HR person. She was able to grasp complex problems, providing real insight and support in order to reach commercial solutions. As an individual, Kiki is very personable and was able to build relationships across all levels of the company. She is a person of great integrity, and was able to build these relationships whilst being one of the decision makers during a time of great change. Her extended technical knowledge along with her ability to work effectively in teams always enables her to achieve effectively her objectives. Overall, I found Kiki to be of great help and I know that she was held in high regard by many of our colleagues both in Greece but also the European region.
