Reactions that matter — feedback from clients and team members
Elizabeth works HARD. In fact, she works harder, longer, and with more passion than just about everybody else. And she doesn't stop working until she knows every single aspect of her clients' business inside and out. Actually, she doesn't stop then either. Because she's just too dedicated to being an advocate for strong creative work - and just too dedicated to maintaining great client relationships.
— Guy Reingold, Associate Creative Director, Ancestry
I have worked with Elizabeth for the last 18 months at Intuit, and she has been amazing! With her never-ending optimism and energy and go-getter attitude, Elizabeth would make a great addition to any team. She helped us grow our internal center of excellence for martech enablement in a way that I didn't think was possible in such a short time. She found the needed resources, flagged blockers early, and got things done quickly, professionally, and with great quality. I can't recommend Elizabeth enough!
—Masha (Finkelstein) Rusanov, Go-To-Market Technology Marketing Team Lead, Intuit
Elizabeth is a juggler; elegant, acrobatic, spectacular. She is in the habit of handling multiple projects - all urgent, all with overlapping priorities, all improbable - simultaneously while making it look like it's all fun (because for her, it is.) She is a leader and all the words you might associate with one. Strong, committed, inspirational. Work for her because you will try things you would have never considered without her intervention. If you ever regard a complex, ambitious project as something that can't be done, hire Elizabeth.
—Dushka Zapata, Vice President of Communications, Forte
Elizabeth is an effective and thoughtful leader and one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met.
I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth for 10 years at Burning Man. Although she was my manager, rarely did it feel that way; Elizabeth focused on being a great coach, mentor and above all else, a friend. I was impressed by Elizabeth’s ability to diffuse the toughest situations with calmness and competence, even while herself under tremendous pressure. This is a skill few people perform well, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her.
These leadership abilities coupled with her strong strategic thinking and organizational skills make Elizabeth a great asset to any organization.
— Katherine Westfall, VP/Relationship Manager at F&M Bank
From the minute I started working with Elizabeth at Ogilvy in SF on a wildly challenging portfolio of accounts, I knew that she was something special. There was no challenge that we couldn't crush, and an absolute absence of murk or aimlessness in strategic direction that she brought to her accounts.
Her energy and insight give any team an edge. Her ability to process myriad inputs and navigate stakeholders' unsurfaced expectations are second to none. She makes project managers' jobs easy and C-level partners look good.
The world of Marketing is ever-evolving and counter-intuitive and she gets it. She really does. And she makes you get it too.
I look forward to the day when our professional paths cross again.
—Doug Beck, Senior Program Manager, Global Digital Experiences
Elizabeth is a laser focused, highly driven leader who puts her heart and soul into the work she does. Intelligent, courageous and results-focused, Elizabeth cares deeply and will go the extra mile to make an impact.
— Emily Ghosh, CEO at Soul Media
Having worked with Elizabeth in two different organizations now, I can say she is a woman of many talents. She has an innate ability to work with creatives, managers, production and all between. Her experience set is uniquely beneficial to any creative project she takes on. A genuine pleasure to work with, I look forward to future possibilities.
— Zack Whitaker, Principal and Owner at Zalt Function Design
Elizabeth is astute, and always aware of the possibilities ahead. She is smart and loyal, and that manifests in her ability to work with colleagues. Her education informs her decision making and keeping projects moving forward. Elizabeth would be an asset to any organization, but she would be especially valuable in creating new pathways that lead to change and improvement in the surrounding structure.
— Affinity Mingle, Burning Man
Elizabeth came in to help my 16 month old company reach our next level. We are an experienced group of professionals so, had had some success landing new work with previous clients. However, we needed to expand our client base.
Elizabeth came up with clear, concise methods for us to advance our web site content, messaging on social media and the beginnings of an SEO plan. She helped us fine tune our message to reach the clients we wanted to reach and explain what we had to offer without it being a shotgun approach. All of these were in support of our business development work that strategically pinpointed new customers through our previous relationships or ad-hoc meetings.
Thanks for bringing us to the next level, Elizabeth.
