Colleagues describe her as "Ann recognizes that to be a great leader you need a great team; she does not leave this to chance. She is personally invested in building up the people she works with to be the best they can be. Ann creates an environment where people can freely discuss ideas then supports people in pursuing them. When reporting upward, Ann ensures that the people below her are represented and recognized. Because of all of this, while I reported to Ann, our team was willing to work on whatever was needed as long as we were working for Ann." and "Ann is a dedicated, talented technology and business professional who knows how to add value to any situation. The first thing you’ll notice about her is her poise, polish, and level-headedness. She brings balance and perspective to work challenges in a way that moves the business forward. Ann is a superb communicator, able to tailor her messaging to her audience – she is focused not on what she wants to say, but rather, what her audience needs to take away.
I have worked with Ann on delivery-oriented projects, employee management and morale, and strategic program development. She is a very good listener, a hard worker, decisive, optimistic, and execution-oriented. She holds herself to a high standard, with integrity and accountability at the heart of her work. At the same time, Ann is pretty easy to get along with – while she takes her work seriously, she doesn’t take herself too seriously.
Ann is data-savvy, process-savvy, and people-savvy, which is why she has excelled in her business architecture roles, although I am confident that she could be successful in almost any management position. She is able to communicate and inform others in the organization, regardless of their station. Ann seems to take particular delight in developing her peers and direct reports, all who have been impressed by her leadership style, which I would characterize as “innovative and collaborative.”
If I had my own company, Ann would be my first hire. No question.
