About Paola Pisoni

I’m a results-driven marketing leader with over a decade of experience building and executing global, multi-channel co-marketing campaigns that drive business growth, customer acquisition, and brand love. I’ve led cross-functional teams across continents, industries, and time zones—navigating matrixed organizations to bring big ideas to life.My sweet spot? The intersection of creative storytelling and operational excellence. Whether it’s launching a strategic partnership with a top-tier consumer brand, building scalable marketing processes from the ground up, or solving problems before they even make it onto someone’s radar, I’m in my element when I’m balancing strategy with execution.I’ve worked across industries including entertainment, payments, and tech, partnering with some of the world’s most recognizable brands to craft marketing programs that deliver meaningful, measurable impact. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can connect dots across teams and bring people together to execute campaigns that meet (and often exceed) shared goals.Born and raised in Italy, I’ve lived and worked in Milan, London, Los Angeles, and the DC metro area. I’m bilingual in Italian and English, with a sprinkle of French and Spanish thrown in for good measure. Always open to new connections—whether you’re looking to collaborate, chat career paths, or trade pasta recipes, my inbox is open.
