I had the pleasure working with Pooja for several years within Schibsted and I also asked her to take on my COO-position on interim basis when I was in another project. This was a decision I never regretted and that gave me the opportunity to hand over a widespread and complex job in safe hands on short notice. Pooja has an outstanding combination of being truly professional in everything she does, hard working, reliable and still with positive energy, open mindset and a sense of humor. She brings not only new perspectives from an extensive business background in a truly international context, but also a lot of energy as well as clear and direct but still well balanced communication. I would love to work together with Pooja again and can see her in various roles. She masters a wide range of strategic, operational and digital competences but with a personality that will give you not only increased focus and speed but also a very genuine, reliable and inspiring colleague.

Having had the pleasure to work with Pooja for a year I can truly recommend that experience. Pooja is smart, fast, hardworking and timely. She has sound integrity and can voice her opinions and values clearly and steadfastly. She brings energy, speed and detail focus to any team. On top of that she thrives in multi cultural environments and teams and can skillfully navigate opportunities as well as challenges in those contexts. I would not hesitate to work with Pooja again should I get the opportunity. In fact, I am sure I will.
