June 2026 · Managed Christina directly
I've had the pleasure of seeing Christina grow during her internship, and her impact has been outstanding. She quickly added value by improving and automating processes across our PM team and supporting key accounts with a high level of ownership.

Christina brings a powerful combination of project management skills and hands-on expertise in automation, data, and AI-driven workflows. Her work has reduced operational workload, improved efficiency, and enabled senior team members to focus more on strategic priorities.

What stands out most is her proactive mindset and continuous drive to make ways of working smarter and more scalable. Christina is a high-potential professional who consistently delivers meaningful impact, and I highly recommend her.

Senior Project Manager & Team Lead · Storyteq
June 2026 · Managed Christina directly
Christina combines strong project execution with hands-on technical skills that are rare at her level. She independently managed high-volume delivery for some high-profile clients, coordinating end-to-end production while ensuring consistency and quality across outputs.

She has a clear strength in identifying inefficiencies and turning them into practical solutions; from improving data management workflows to building automations that reduced time spent on asset creation and uploads. Her work directly contributed to measurable efficiency gains using scripting, structured data handling, and process redesign to make workflows more scalable.

She's a very reliable team player who delivers tangible improvements, not just ideas 🚀

December 2025 · BSc Computer Science thesis supervisor
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Christina Benopoulou, who has demonstrated exceptional performance throughout the Bachelor of Computer Science program. As the coordinator of the Computer Science project and her project supervisor, I had the opportunity to oversee her thesis, in which she earned an excellent grade of 8.0 out of 10.

Throughout the project, Christina consistently demonstrated strong analytical abilities, a very good understanding of methodologies, and a good capacity to apply theoretical concepts to real-world problems.

With an overall GPA of 7.9, Christina stands out as one of the top-performing students in her cohort. She is a highly committed and motivated individual who manages multiple tasks effectively, even under tight deadlines, always delivering high-quality results.

I am confident that Christina will continue to excel in her master's studies and I wish her the very best in all her future endeavours.

Open to
new opportunities.
