Colleagues describe her as "I do not have enough words to be enough thankful to Maria. I started to work with her in July 2014 and I well remember my first lesson as a new buyer, which was about the verb “assume”, and I do it every time I have the chance and I also encourage my team to have the same drive and attitude. Her guidance and unending dedication, commitment and passion was the baseline of my career. She inspired me to love my job in procurement and this motivated me to obtain good achievements, since now I am managing a team based on 2 continents. The fact that she is sharing all her knowledge to everyone is requiring her an advice, shows how strong it is." and "Few times spent together on different topics. Maria is serious, high commited, structured and business oriented. She gave me great support on different tasks. I highly recommend her."
