Stephanie Leue | CPO | Ringier Medien Schweiz

When I joined Doodle, Giulia was a product owner for one of the teams, and it was obvious to me that she was one of the most talented and high-performing people I'd ever worked with.

Her thorough attention to detail, open communication, growth mentality, and never-ending efforts to improve things are outstanding.

Giulia quickly established a research function, including processes and goals, and generated amazing value in a matter of weeks. Her efforts helped our move to outcome-driven product management.

I was delighted to promote her to a senior position shortly afterwards. Giulia is extremely talented and memorable. She consistently gives 150% value while remaining focused.

It's been an incredible journey with her, and I can't wait to see her go above and beyond.

From the very beginning, Giulia demonstrated an exceptional level of determination, focus, and user-centricity.

Her approach to research was nothing short of impressive - leading interviews with remarkable skill, actively listening to users, and extracting deep insights without leading responses.

Her ability to uncover genuine user needs and synthesize vast amounts of qualitative data into clear, actionable insights was invaluable to our product strategy.

The way she structured and visually represented her findings was perfectly crafted, making it accessible and impactful for all stakeholders, from product teams to C-level executives.

Thanks to her research, we were able to shape our entire integration strategy, leading to the development of high-value features that improved our conversion and retention rates.

Being a Product Manager having Giulia as my partner on the User Research was really an easy job, I learned a lot from her approach to user research. Giulia has a knack for combining quantitative data with qualitative feedback to deliver insights that actually drive change. She doesn’t just gather information through her research, she makes sure it’s actionable and gets turned into product improvements and new ideas.

One of the highlights of our time together was redesigning the product discovery and research process as a product team. Giulia was key in making it more effective and user-focused, which at the end returned in value for both our business and our users.

She also has an impressive ability to balance quick, tactical insights with a clear view of the bigger picture and the future.

As a PM I've always felt truly safe knowing that Giulia would be there.

I took a mentorship session with Giulia through ADPList, and it was the best decision.

Giulia gave me such an impressive amount of useful information in little time.

She sent over some information before our session so I could prepare better for our chat, and that really helped me have clarity over my objective with the mentorship, which made the session enriching and effective.

Additionally, Giulia really knows what questions to ask to help you reflect on what are your objectives, obstacles and opportunities to mentor you in the best way possible.

Lastly, she is super knowledgeable about UX research and it shows!

Overall, I loved having the opportunity to talk to her and get her knowledge.

Her positive and caring nature shines through everything she does, and it shows in every aspect of her influence as a UX Researcher, most prominently with our customers and customer facing initiatives.

Her attention to detail, clear communication, and the very obvious passion for bringing value to our users shine through daily, especially during customer interviews, where her skill set and personality result in customers being relaxed, interested in conversing and empowered to give ideas, insights and honest feedback.

She fears no task, is very clear in her understanding and communication of everything that makes a great UX Researcher, and so far, every conclusion she made, has resulted in improved numbers, better product adoption and increased usage.

Stephanie Brady | Owner StephBe | Former RiM Head of HR

Giulia is a very quick learner and is very intentional about getting the absolute best learning out of every experience she is presented with.

This was demonstrated in Retail inMotion by Giulia’s promotions. In the four years, she was promoted four times.

She takes a large part of the responsibility for her learning journey, not waiting for her Manager or HR to implement what she wants to master next.

One of the qualities I found most admirable about Giulia is her resilience, working in a fast-growing company where clarity is not always available can be stressful for some people.

Giulia worked in areas where this could be a challenge, but she always rose to that challenge and recovered very quickly after difficult or stressful times.

In summary I could recommend Giulia’s work ethic, work quality and attitude any more highly. She will be a great asset to any company she decides to join.
