Paola Ligabue Consulting

Internationalization and recruitment: two seemingly distant topics, which for me have always been linked together. It's always a matter of dealing with people and building a bridge between people, markets, demands and offers. Over the years, I have become a point of reference for companies that need support with registering and dealing with the American FDA. Recruitment has likewise always been very much on my mind: finding the right person for companies and the right companies for candidates is my mission.

ABOUT ME

Paola Ligabue

I was born in 1955 in the very centre of Reggio Emilia, a typical city in one of Italy’s most fertile, productive and innovative regions. From a very young age, I nurtured a true passion for foreign languages, not realising to what extent this would shape my life and career.er.

After high school, I worked in the family business and at the same time studied languages (English, French and German) at night school. I then worked for a short period as an export sales clerk and , in 1979, I set up my own consultancy firm, offering translation services to the many companies in Reggio Emilia and further afield. The solid relationships I built up with my customers soon led me to offer them yet another service, namely the selection and research of personnel.

In 1990 I began collaborating with the Studio of D. Grosser and Associates of New York, to support Italian companies wishing to export foods and wines of excellence to North America.

With my positive and open-minded attitude, my excellent knowledge of 4 languages and different cultures, my empathy, experience, extensive network of contacts and my great love for my homeland, my mission is to promote the excellence of Made in Italy throughout the world.

Other activities and personal commitments

In addition to being an active member of several national and European associations that promote women’s rights and promotion, since 2015 I have been very much involved in EWMD, the European Women’s Management Development International Network, of which I am co-founder of the Reggio - Modena branch and Co-Chairwoman at international level since 2019.

The services I offer to companies and professionals focus on:
