Riina is an absolute pleasure to work with and brings immeasurable value to a team. With a creative and intelligent approach she is able to elevate those around her. I have worked closely with Riina on a few projects and have always walked away having learned something new and beneficial. She is an excellent presenter in multiple languages and has a fantastic sales and business acumen.
