Julie Hartstein is a Board Secretary at Sequoia Adult School Scholars. Colleagues describe them as "Julie is more than a manager... she is a leader. She leads you to be your best by inspiring from the top down with the amazing work she brings forth. Seeing the work she does drives you to push your boundaries and step up your game. As a manager she gives you both the freedom and support that is needed to work through new ideas and concepts. I love that I feel I am working with her - not under her, can collaborate with and learn from her, and know that she is always there to support and make me stronger in my profession. I feel lucky to have Julie as a manager not only because of her great managerial skill-sets, but her topical and professional expertise and the fact that she always strives to put the best work forward. " and "Julie and I have worked closely together for nearly two years. Our most ambitious project was the complete brand redesign for Autodesk. It was the biggest redesign the company has done in its 30 history, and thanks to the great collaboration between Julie's team and the Creative team, the redesign became a big success. While my team focused on the creative work, Julie developed the communications and launch plans. Her strategic agility is remarkable. She sees the big picture, and is relentless in finding an optimal solution. The way she developed the intricate launch and communications plans allowed for a smooth, global launch of thousands of assets in many different languages. She is truly a master of ensuring execution and detailed process management. When Julie is on a project, one can be sure that it will be taken care of according to the highest standards. I have rarely worked with someone so driven, detail-oriented, and who has such a positive attitude. Her results leadership is phenomenal, and she is a true pleasure to work with."
