Colleagues describe her as "Michelle is an exceptional professional and product manager, and it is my pleasure to recommend her without reservation. I've had the privilege of working with Michelle at JPMC and Pivotal, and during those years, she consistently demonstrated her ability to think clearly, organize and execute efforts, communicate value, and maintain an overall positive outlook. Michelle is deeply committed to delivering high-value iterative change for her organization. She shows meticulous attention to detail in her work and goes above and beyond to support her teams, focusing on driving organizational impact. She excels at synthesizing the perspectives of end customers, designers, engineers, and other leaders to identify challenges and propose effective solutions. Additionally, she has the ability to facilitate large conversations among leaders and individual contributors, driving them toward actionable outcomes. Michelle is dedicated to breaking down work effectively, communicating it clearly, and actively seeking feedback. One of Michelle's greatest strengths is her exceptional care for those around her. She consistently displays an impressive depth of empathy and strives to uplift not only her team but also the entire organization. Her expertise not only contributed to the success of numerous projects but also to the personal growth and achievements of individuals she has managed. In summary, I highly recommend Michelle for any endeavor she chooses to pursue, whether it be in a managerial position or as an individual contributor. Her remarkable skills, professionalism, and unwavering dedication make her an invaluable addition to any team.", "During my time at Pivotal Labs, Michelle exemplified how Pivotal Labs could scale agile practices to successfully transform companies of any size, led the San Francisco team through an acquisition, and empowered individuals from all disciplines and backgrounds to reach their maximum potential. Michelle’s first enterprise project was so successful that she was asked to present the transformation story to the entire company. Because of the unique challenges, Michelle was the perfect person to lead that project. She loves taking on new challenges, she’s creative, and she’s supportive. She helped the Labs team understand and empathize with the client team and vice versa. She reminded us of the core values behind our practices and facilitated conversations to figure out how to adapt these practices to the new constraints we were working with. Michelle also protected us by refusing to compromise on our work-life balance, regardless of the pressure we were under. We still met all the deadlines and delivered a stable product to a very happy client. Michelle was also a critical member of the management team and led the San Francisco team through a period of significant change when Pivotal Labs was acquired by VMWare. I watched her regularly step in when the team was struggling. For instance, I specifically remember when she brought up the fact that we were not acting on any issues that were brought up in the manager meetings because we spent most of our time talking past each other. She suggested focusing on building upon each other's ideas and using the phrase “Yes, and…” instead of responding with another completely separate idea. This helped the management team become more action oriented and collaborative. Michelle not only makes an impact on the company and project level but also on the individual level. One of my favorite things about her is her ability to detect when an individual is being singled out in social situations and subtly change the direction of the conversation to make that individual more comfortable. She also stands out as a strong advocate for her people. She goes the extra mile to understand everyone’s career goals so that when relevant opportunities arise, she is always ready to fight for the appropriate person.", and "Michelle is the best on-site team leader I have ever worked with. Her commitment and attention to details has created very good working enviroment for me. The high level of profesionalism has made her the best mobile on-site team manager inside MicroStrategy."
