"I am a Lobbyist and I Like Lobbying"

The firm that asked to vet candidates for the Institutional Relations position at CECCM in 1999, Russell Reynolds Associates, argued in a confidential letter that "we are most impressed by this woman who says 'I am a lobbyist and I like lobbying'". [1]

As another positive attribute for Pederiva the letter quoted her "extensive network. She, for example, knows very well the Italian who is likely to take on the responsibility in DGVI". [3]
