Wall of Love

What you did for Gitpod was nothing short of impressive and I am glad I got the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. You are a class act for using your energies now to find everyone a good new place to keep growing!

Who's the best community leader ever? It's obvious: @paw_lean

You've done an amazing job. Gitpod wouldn't be what it is now without you.

Did I see "great community leader" but no mention of @paw_lean?!? She's da best!!

Pauline is absolutely amazing at building community. Hire her while you can!

Pauline is one of the best community builders I have come across.

Thank you for all your contributions and work on Gitpod's ecosystem. With CDEs becoming more and more popular, I am sure it won't take long to find a new (and lucky to have you) company.

If you're looking for someone who can build a thriving community, bring people together in person, and create real opportunities for others, Pauline's your person.

Vercel is lucky to have Pauline leading its customer community, and her impact is a big reason people want to support the company.

Being the public face of our start-up, I was amazed to see both our company and a vibrant community grow around her.

Pauline single-handedly built a vibrant community around Gitpod from scratch.

Pauline has the rare ability to create an environment that brings the best out of people, online and offline.

Pauline was a key reason I joined Gitpod. The energy and dedication she poured into the community showcased the company's culture.

Pauline is an essential bridge between the organisation and the community: supportive, open to ideas, and always ready to connect and help.

Pauline is a naturally driven individual who raises the ceiling of the entire team nay company by tenfolds. At Vercel, I witnessed Pauline lead the Community initiatives by creating a successful community platform, planning and running multiple events, and exhibiting great care in every single interaction with (internal and) external community members.

Pauline is the true definition of a community builder. She is undaunted by big challenges and always willing to tackle complex issues (with a smile on her face, no doubt!

If I could I would hire Pauline one hundred times. She will make your company shine. Go grab her talent till you can.

She is a force of nature. The more I learn of what she does and the way she does it the more impressed I am.

She is a strategic, enthusiastic, creative, stubborn thinker and leader. Let her lead. Let her create and solve her own problems. Pauline being managed: incredible worker. Pauline leading: there's no limit in what she can do. Let her do her thing. Thank me later.

Her structured approach, reliability, hands-on involvement, and readiness to support the team consistently impressed me.

She was kind-hearted, helped me improve my skills, and gave me the freedom to explore and take action.

Pauline was an incredibly driven and caring manager. Her guidance helped us achieve our team goals and aided my personal development.

I appreciated Pauline's written communication, candor, care, and ability to execute against a deadline — a rare skill in DevRel.

While it is easy to note Pauline’s public efforts in establishing community, what I applaud and celebrate Pauline most for is for being a legendary people manager; leading by example and wholeheartedly winning the trust, respect (,and awe!) of her entire team.

Pauline is what leadership stands for. She's inspiring, genuine, supportive, and, most importantly, kind. When I joined Vercel in this new role, she mentored me and empowered me to be the best in my role. She was always there when I needed clarity and confidence, which made such a huge impact on my journey at Vercel.

There are some people you meet who have a profound influence on your career and your life. Little did I know, when I met her two years ago, how Pauline would change the course of mine. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to work with her.

We never met but I attended one online event you organized and loved your passion! Take it easy and all the best, there is somewhere a lucky company which will have the luck to have you in their team.

I've been reading her blogs and they're so inspiring. I couldn't feel more connected with someone online.

Y'all. I have always been in awe at the way @paw_lean transitioned into the DevRel space and did so many great stuff in a short period of time. It was so great to meet you virtually, Pauline. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Kudos to Pauline for consistently representing the DevEx community with amazing content.

Pauline is able to easily engage with and inspire others (from students, fellow instructors or mentors, to the CFG team!) with her tech experience, passion and charismatic demeanour.

Her ability to bring a brand to life through warmth and relationships is pure gold.

Pauline displayed a great talent for picking up new technologies, and her understanding of cloud computing grew at an impressive rate.

Pauline is one of the best people in DevRel I can think of. A talented, hard-working, fantastic person.

She is a true internet native who understands authentic, vulnerable, and captivating communication across multiple channels.

We worked together on four conference submissions, all of which were selected by the organisers. I couldn't have done it without Pauline's help.

You're one of my favorite community people to follow because of the care you put into all of the many millions of things you engage!!! In case no one's told you lately, thank you Pauline 🥹

Now that I've finally yapped with @paw_lean, I can officially say: she is one of my favorite Vercellians. The yappage and vibes could not be better.

You are always so caring, and you pour yourself into everything you do. I love seeing it unfolding, even here on LinkedIn. Always keen on connecting; you bring a lot of positive in people lives!

People like you are the reason why Open Source is so incredible. I mean, everything you do, from your amazing blogs to your supportive community management, and even how you manage your time, it's all so inspiring.

Pauline shows up with enthusiasm, listens deeply, and keeps the community's needs at the center of everything she does.

Pauline has been on a parabolic growth trajectory, delivering A+ work on every task or challenge presented to her.

Pauline is way above the bar. I owe a lot of our success at CaravanaCloud to her personally dedicating time to us at a busy KubeConf. Totally recommended!

I'm SO proud of @paw_lean. A true community leader and someone who will continue to make waves and lift up others throughout her career.

Mentor #10, I will forever be grateful, thanks for giving a weird, half-baked mentoring platform a try. I distinctively remember being super excited seeing someone my same age crush it so hard (can you imagine this was 2017 😅). A supporter ever since.

You continue to be an inspiration for all of us in the Community and I hope you are proud of it. Keeping my eyes extra open for any opportunity worthy of your talent.

Pauline has a real gift for connecting people to opportunities. She helped me land a job, and we've never even worked together.

Pauline has an exceptionally inspiring DevRel mindset. She advocates for others, and that's how she truly is.
