Bio
Vincent Tomassacci
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Polina. I had the pleasure of working with Polina for almost two years at GAIN, collaborating on several projects. Polina is a smart, trustworthy and conscientious team member, who quickly demonstrated high potential and performed a very good job in a fast moving and challenging environment. And, we still miss her creativity and joyful attitude in the team and for our social events. Polina would be an asset to any team.

Polina is a wonderful, hard-working individual who strives to ensure that she can get the job completed with a high level of quality, all done with a beaming smile on her face. During her time at GAIN, Polina fully embraced her role as a key coordinator and developer in the project management information system. Under the tutelage of the Senior Manager, our team was able to implement a comprehensive and complex project that adds great value to the organization's knowledge management. Regardless of her junior position, Polina was not shy to voice her insights and provide valuable input regarding the project's design and implementation planning. Aside from her role as IT/IS Junior Associate, Polina got along very well with all her global colleagues, and our team always received very positive feedback about Polina's professionalism and enthusiasm towards the job. Her involvement in the organization's culture and social committee also showcases her desire to add value to the positivity and well-being of the organization. My experience working with Polina at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutiriton has been an extremely positive one. Given that our team consisted of only 3 employees, I have had the opportunity of working with her very closely during her time at GAIN. Her growth and professional development during this time has really impressed me, and I think that Polina would be a great asset to any organization.

GAIN gave me lots of useful experience and unforgettable moments. I started here as an intern and then got promoted to a junior associate position in February 2015. As my key responsibilities I would highlight the following: • Design and implementation of the most exciting inner project at GAIN – Project Management and Information System (PMIS). - The tool was launched in June 2015, and by May 2016 75% of the organization successfully used it in their everyday work. - New features were implemented based on the feedback from GAIN staff, which made the process of project progress tracking more transparent and time effective. - Support and training for staff on the use and new features of the system, which supported the successful adaptation of the tool. • Maintenance of organization’s SharePoint 2010 intranet: - Creation of customized workflows for IT assets tracking system and HR approvals of new positions. - InfoPath forms design for staff surveying. - Users support. • Design of the organization’s business processes in a collaboration with different teams. • Work in an international environment, providing IT support to my colleagues from different offices around the world.
