Edi Ilie

I worked with Paula for almost a year on two different projects. She is an experienced Business Analyst who is very effective in delivering results. Since day one I was impressed by her professionalism, she managed in a short period of time to improve the entire flow that we had on the project which impacted the entire delivery and also client satisfaction. Paula has very good communications skills and a very positive approach for everything which keeps the morale of the team high. There were many situations where her attention to details, organisational skills and her experience with UX/UI bringed a lot of value to the project. Personally I learned a lot about people management, team & project organisation from her. I highly recommend Paula as Business Analyst and team member.

Paula is a brilliant business analyst who knows how to get the best out of the people. I had the pleasure to work with Paula on the EU Academy project and I can say that she is very dedicated to her work. She is a smart and creative person, but what really impressed me at Paula is the ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas. She managed to make our Monday morning retrospective meeting fun and interactive and everyone wanted to contribute. Anyone will be lucky to have Paula on their team.
