Maria Xytaki
It may sound as an exaggeration but I really miss cooperating with Leslie. He is so helpful and understanding of her colleagues' needs. She is definitely a well experienced professional. While she was Global PR Manager at Bally, the brand reached its top press coverage globally. She knows how to share tools and information, she always replies instantly to the emails no matter if the issue is urgent or not. And most importantly, she has a personal style to reward and reinforce her colleagues which makes her adorable!
