ALL Testimonials

Michele DiMartino - Managing Director, Kates Kesler Organization Design at Accenture
“I’ve known Elizabeth for several years and we’ve worked together multiple times. I brought Elizabeth on at Kate Kesler in a project management role, but she actually handled a wide variety of things. She does well with communications and project planning with major initiatives and is always willing to jump in and help however she can. I would consider Elizabeth to be a very polished consultant who is personable and lovely with clients."

Cynthia Escamilla - Principal, Elena Consulting
“Elizabeth and I have intersected on quite a few projects over the years. She is communicative, versatile, thorough, and super professional – it is easy to put her in front of any client! I think Elizabeth is very strong in change and transitions communications. She can understand what an organization is trying to deal with and then articulate the changes and how they fit into a specific structure. She’s really great at packaging all of that information and presenting it to executives at any level."
