A Paula é uma das profissionais mais talentosas com quem já tive a oportunidade de trabalhar. Como profissional de marketing possui uma grande bagagem técnica e de negócios. Ela sabiamente alia essa experiência com uma visão contemporânea da área de mkt e as mudanças inevitáveis da área. Como líder, sempre inspiradora, sabe extrair o melhor de cada colaborador e consegue, de uma forma doce e firme ao mesmo tempo, atingir resultados excepcionais. Foi sempre um prazer trabalhar com ela.

Besides being one of the most talented clients I have ever worked with, since her points of view are always taken from a broad and in depth business perspectives, Paula is young and warm at heart. Paula has the talent of building up sound relationships within her own business circles and also with her communication agencies. Not only, she transforms a tough business project into an easy to carry on, due to her delicate way of treating people. Very much skilled in Marketing and Advertising, Paula has also a huge talent to carry on innovation projects (products and services) putting together different service vendors to work alongside each other smoothly. These days are demanding professionals like Paula Castellan.
