I first met Paola on the CHI-WEB usability mailing list in the early 2000s. A true digital native, Paola possesses a deep technical insight in the way the internet works, combined with first-hand experience of the social web throughout its evolution. She is passionate about the potential of the internet and has a natural empathy with the user.
We've worked together on several projects, and every time Paola has impressed me with her diligence, professionalism and perfectionism. Paola has the ability to be both project manager and creative partner, bringing to bear her considerable experience and aesthetic taste, but open to new ideas and collaborative, rather than micro-managing.
She is friendly and engaging, and quietly authoritative. She takes her work very seriously and is fearless in putting forward the solution she feels is right.
