I had the pleasure of working with Victoria Watkins for 18 months from 2017 to 2018, during which time she showcased exceptional dedication and skill.

Her promotion to head up regional HR and business operations was well-deserved, and her relocation from Singapore to Bangkok further exemplifies her readiness to take on new challenges. Victoria proved to be an asset to our firm, consistently delivering results and demonstrating leadership qualities that inspired her colleagues. I highly recommend Victoria for any role that values professionalism, integrity, and a strong work ethic.

I've had the good fortune to work with Vix on a number of consultancy projects, and she's made every one of them so much easier. You need clarity getting to the root of problems, creativity and ingenuity in finding solutions, and commitment and consideration for others when getting results. Vix has those skills in spades. She has a particular skill in balancing commercial and operational needs that I most admire. She's also exceptional when dealing with some pretty difficult customers! If Vix isn't on your shortlist, she should be.

I had the pleasure of working with Victoria for over 2 years during my time at Hackett.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Victoria for any role which requires great organisational skills teamed with total dedication (and patience !)
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Victoria! I had the pleasure of working with Victoria for 5 years at Hackett collaborating on several project teams and special events. I was particularly impressed by Victoria’s ability to handle even the toughest clients—and effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among customer professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. No matter how tense a meeting, Victoria made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Victoria earns my highest recommendation.
Victoria is a great all rounder who is unphased by anything that is thrown at her . She always rises to the challenge and never does just enough, but instead she exceeds everyone's expectations with her mix of creativity, capability, efficiency and cheerfulness. Victoria is a great people person and is in her element organising fashion shows and exhibitions involving a multinational clientele. Everything that Victoria does is natural and unforced and she has the rare ability to make everything she has organised look effortless, but that's probably because she has organised it all perfectly in advance . I think she would be a fantastic asset in any role involving a creative approach. She is also warm , likable, and absolutely honest.
Victoria is a fantastic event organiser. One of those rare people that look into the details of events and not just the big picture. All of our events from Hog roast to Tarantino party were executed flawlessly. My first New year was spent in Siem reap and we had the pleasure of spending it at Under Construction, complete with outdoor ice bar, drinks promotions and late night snacks which saw us off into the night/morning. If you need something organised Victoria is the go to lady for the job!!
