Joanne Ayers Email & Phone Number

Joanne Ayers is a Senior Manager, Technical Engineering, IT Infrastructure & Cloud Strategy & Planning at Blue Shield of California. Colleagues describe them as "Joanne is on the very few "Go To" program managers I relied on at BlackRock. When there is a complicated, difficult, political, and messy program that needed a strong project hand and sensitive engagement model - Joanne was the PM that I turned to. She has a style that builds relationships, communicates with impact and clarity, and results in a smooth-running engagement that rarely needed escalation to management or failed to deliver to plan or budget. She leads well, understands all aspects of technology and can speak to the highest level of management. I cannot recommend Joanne enough to someone that nees a skillful and very competent program or project manager." and "I am pleased to be given the opportunity to write a letter of recommendation for Joanne Ayers. I have had the pleasure of working with Joanne for over two years as a program/project manager on her team. Both the team and the company have gone through many changes over past year and the team has stayed together and strengthened because of Joanne’s abilities as a leader. She is an excellent manager with the ability to understand and adjust to different peoples motivations. She is an excellent and active listener and does not jump to solutions but rather leads one to the answers. Joanne adapts well to changing management requirements and leadership styles which makes her a great advocate for the team. She is very good at leading those who work for her and coaching those around her to always be successful. She is exceptionally well organized, motivated, and always seems to enjoy her work. This in turn makes her a great asset on any group, a productive leader on the team, and an excellent program manager. Joanne has the rare ability to be kind, diplomatic, and always straightforward and honest in her dealings with people, regardless of there position in the company. I have worked for a number of companies from very small to very large and I have rarely seen the kind of business acumen, organizational skills, leadership, and management savvy, which Joanne possesses. She is an excellent manager that will do exceptionally well in any environment. It is for that reason that I so strongly recommend Joanne Ayers. Regards, John Burbank"
