Mateo Paso Viola

With several years of experience in HR, I am proud to say that I have honed my skills as a culture management expert, a recruiting pro, and a stakeholder partner. But don't let that fool you - I'm also a fun-loving team player who thrives on building strong relationships with those around me.

As an HR professional, I bring a unique blend of creativity and efficiency to the table. I love to tackle complex challenges head-on, using my astute problem-solving skills to find effective solutions. Whether it's managing multiple projects or prioritizing tasks, I always approach my work with proficiency and precision.

My knowledge and experience span across a wide range of HR functional areas, from culture and talent to talent acquisition and sales. I have a deep understanding of what it takes to create and maintain a positive company culture, and I take pride in being a culture curator.

I am grateful for the opportunities that have allowed me to grow as an HR professional, and I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the industry 🙌 🦸‍♂️
