Where do I begin? Olalla is one of the sweetest, hard working individuals I have ever met. When I came into the company, Olalla was tasked to teach me everything she knew in a short amount of time. We would spend hours on the phone "downloading" everything about her projects & the company to me all while she was pregnant! I know there were days when she was exhausted but she still would answer every question I had and every email I sent. She was dedicated to getting me where I needed to be before she left. Olalla is a person to hop on wherever you need her no matter the position because she will do what is best for the collective team. Any role she is in she will give 1000% and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from such an amazing spirit!

I have worked with Olalla at prIME Oncology for several years and I could not wish for a better colleague. She has organized a variety of medical events and congresses worldwide for numerous international clients. In this fast pace industry, Olalla showed strong leadership competencies in guiding and managing team members to achieve high-quality results with a good sense of humor and a positive attitude. New and challenging projects were in safe hands when managed by Olalla, thanks to her proficient project planning and management abilities and because Olalla thinks out of the box to find new innovative ways to increase audiences. Apart from this, Olalla is reliable, flexible and has excellent communication, negotiating and advising skills. I very much enjoyed working with Olalla, she has an open and warm personality and is a fun colleague to work with. Without any hesitation I can recommend Olalla to anyone.
