Social proof: testimonials

“I benefitted greatly from working with Viana during 2024. She helped with editing, refining a job description, communications and shortlisting for a new role: Co-Head of Regenerative Futures Fund at Foundation Scotland. Viana brought to this her depth of experience around diversity, equity and inclusion, a critical eye with a clear focus on designing and implementing an inclusive recruitment process. The feedback we received from applicants and interviewees on the inclusive approach was positive. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Viana again, in fact I really hope that I get to work with her soon, and I'd recommend her as a professional, experienced and thoughtful colleague.”
