Maria brought a wide breadth of skills to all aspects of the Hackathon, including organizing and planning the event, recruiting the firm’s business members to participate, creating marketing content, orchestrating ideation sessions, providing valuable feedback on product design, and facilitating the event itself. Furthermore, Maria brought cutting-edge tools to our organization that will have a long-lasting effect on the way that we operate”

“Hiring Maria as our AI & Democracy hackathon facilitator was easily one of the best decisions my team and I made. Maria was instrumental to the success of our event. She brought extensive experience with the hackathon format, helping my team to successfully build out our event structure, judging criteria, pitching process, and recruitment. She designed polished graphics to help us advertise our event, and she was incredibly communicative and responsive to our questions and needs.

At the event itself, Maria facilitated a fast-paced, full-day event with energy, warmth, and enthusiasm. She helped to troubleshoot changes and adjustments on the fly, and our participants pointed to her by name when thanking us for hosting the event. I cannot recommend Maria enough as a hackathon facilitator and team member.”

We saved a lot of time and energy thanks to this hackathon by working directly with our clients, and it helped strengthen our relationship. I really appreciated being able to work on topics outside of the usual buyer/seller roles" - worth 100 meetings!
