At Sybase, I worked many years with Tracy both as a coworker and as a member of two of her development teams. Tracy is an excellent manager. Her technical skills are such that she would be a great addition to any development team; however, she has a special gift for managing teams consisting of a wide variety of highly talented engineers.

Her project management skills are second to none. Working with her teams to develop efficient project plans consisting of well documented and easily measured increments leading to quality projects develivered on time. Her teams often modeled project management style and techniques for peer development teams. Tracy's has a very sincere and caring managment style.

I guarantee that she will be instrumental in moving your business forward." and "I have worked with Tracy for 9 years as both a peer and a subordinate. Tracy is one of the best managers that I have ever worked for. She is very technically competent and manages her people at the right level of supervision. She knows how to bring out the best in her people and help them be successful. As a peer, I worked closely with her and on several occasions collaborated on project resource balancing. She is very selfless and has the organizations best interest in mind. She is the consummate professional. I would recommend her for any position that she is seeking."
