Bio
Charlotte Pain
We had Megha on board for a couple of months in 2019 to help us on specific projets. I was very impressed from the first days on how proactive and self efficient she was. She is super intuitive in regards of how we wanted things to be done, and get herself very integrated to our company culture. I also noticed how autonomous she was in finding solutions to problems on her own. The clients and the team adopted her after only few days. I strongly recommend this dynamic person.

I had the chance to work with Megha in the end of 2019 when we got her on board last minute high profile VIP event in the UAE. It’s been the best decision ever as Meghas' very professional attitude as well as her client oriented behavior have been more than a good support. She’s a fantastic team player who understands exactly how to solve challenges, who’s solution driven and proactive - you can 100% rely on her. It has been very supportive to see how fast she got herself into new topics and tasks – and no matter on which pressure level we were operating – everything she did, she did it with a smile and some nice and motivating words for her team members. It’s been my absolute pleasure working with her and I wish her nothing than the very best for her future career!
