In complex, vague and fast-paced environments, Simona is reliable, dependable and hardworking. She is quick to adapt feedback, understands the root of brand and business strategy and acted as an autonomous and extension of the brand team. Beyond her expertise in her craft, she has high emotional intelligence and is the consummate collaborative partner. She punches above her weight and slides seamlessly into cross-functional teams to immediately provide value.

Simona's upbeat approach and willingness to roll with the punches made our collaboration smooth sailing as we launched EA's first-ever Positive Player Award. She was always up for brainstorming new ideas and tackling challenges head-on, which made the project a lot of fun. Whenever we hit a snag, be it scheduling challenges or added deliverables, Simona was quick to find solutions and keep things moving forward.

Beyond her professional skills, Simona was just a joy to work with on a personal level. She was super approachable and made everyone feel valued and heard. Her enthusiasm was contagious and helped create a fantastic team dynamic.

Simona demonstrates what it means to be a remarkable leader and role model. Working closely with her taught me so much about the landscape of broadcast work. During her tenure at Electronic Arts, I saw her dedication to the team above all else pared with her exceptional skills in growing both online and live audiences. I have no doubt she will bring that same level of enthusiasm and expertise to any future endeavors. Hard vouch.

Simona is a treasure. Truly a passionate and professional leader in the esports and production space, Simona brings a sense of urgency and thoughtfulness that makes things happen. Whether in large scale live events in Europe, or the many online shows she’s produced over the years, if there is a problem, Simona can always be counted on with finding a solution. What I appreciate the most is that she brings a sense of human understanding in the fast paced and often critical world of broadcast. Her ability to maneuver in difficult situations to ultimate arrive at a solution of parity, efficiency and positive impact make her an ideal partner. Her kindness beyond the production has also been inspiring to see. Whether it’s a text to check-in, a follow up on how I’m doing, or an honest look at the future of how our broadcast might change - she’s handled it all with a sense of grace, caring and support that made me feel comfortable and looked after as a talent. Simona carries that rare mix of professionalism and friendliness, approachability and strong leadership, and hitting key markers for the show without losing the essence of what makes a production special. Simona’s hard work and dedication to her craft make her someone that any event, production, or talent team would be lucky to work with and I’m happy to call her a friend and a long time colleague.
