"Tatjana Paterno is a tough negotiator and very practical. I'm a huge fan of hers."
"Tatjana’s mastery of the elements of a deal is impressive. She regularly commands the resources of Bass in running a deal for a client. When Tatjana was at the helm, I could attend to the myriad of in-house issues and have peace of mind that Tatjana was driving the deal forward."
