Colleagues describe them as "Its hard to put into words all the years Shannon and i have worked together but i guess in summary i could say she is a true modern leader. She is decisive, knowledgable, proactive, excellent communicator, she periodially gave global conferences to talk about many different things, its easy to trust and rely on her, she will always have the right words to communicate bad or good news without either scaring or setting false expectations on the final user. She was a great teacher to me at all times, since we met she was always the person i thought about whenever something very good or very bad happened to me, inside and outside the workplace. Besides all the soft skills about leadership, management, communication etc, she also has alot of hard skills like SQL, Data modeling, ETL processes, IT Architechture, etc, skills that made day to day challenges easier to bear since i was able to communicate with advanced IT terms most of the time. She makes the workplace a better place and she was definitely the reason i delayed for months leaving Celestica, because i knew it was going to be hard to find any other team as great as the team she was able to put together in CLS." and "Not many people have the opportunity to work for an outstanding manager, but I did when I worked on Shannon’s team at Celestica. Shannon always made sure that I had the resources I needed to do my job, and has directly supported and enhanced my growth as an IT professional. Shannon has a superb ability to prioritize and mobilize teams to accomplish a unified goal. On a large-scale IT transformation project, she co-led numerous design thinking and business requirements workshops, defined a clear vision, and led a team of developers to execute their work in the most efficient way possible. In addition to her exceptional management skills, Shannon’s technical knowledge is bountiful and she can get into the details of an architecture or business intelligence discussion when required. At the core, Shannon is a kind, energetic and intelligent individual who will go out of her way to ensure her team is supported. She is a hard worker and her achievements at Celestica prove it. Any employee would be lucky to have Shannon as their manager."
