I have had the pleasure of working with Paula at NetEnt. Although Paula worked in a different department, we were working together on assignments which we needed to complete quickly and efficiently. Her attention to detail and steadiness in following through, were a great asset. Paula is great at team work and is someone I could really trust and rely on. She is professional and organised when presenting any creative idea, ensuring all the information is provided when presented. Her innovation shined through, when she won best innovation idea of the year: a trip to Las Vegas! I really enjoyed our collaboration and I hope to be able to work with Paula in the future. I highly recommend Paula for any leadership role requiring the above traits.
