Kevin Andolina , Manager Finanical Planning and Analysis , Discovery Channel - worked directly with Rebecca at Discovery Communications

“Rebecca Marquardt has proven herself as an extremely talented Project Director over many years at Discovery Channel. I have worked with her on quite a few projects in the commerce division and I strongly recommend her. Most recently, she successfully implemented a new back end system for the entire DiscoveryStore.com website. She managed the implementation of hundreds of systems and processes associated with the fulfillment, customer service, and financial reporting for DiscoveryStore.com. She continually amazed me with her ability to manage large numbers of projects, people, and systems during the integration. Becky is an extremely hard working individual with organizational skills that are second to none. She has a tremendous attention to detail and a natural ability to bring people together to solve problems. She keeps people (including me) on task to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. In addition, she keeps a positive attitude and is well respected and trusted through all levels of the company. I am continually amazed with her ability to move projects along with grace and am always happy to see her name on a meeting or conference call because I know whatever it is will get done right! In summary, Rebecca is one of a kind. Beyond being the best project manager I know, she is a strong supervisor, reliable colleague and has a good, fun sense of humor. Any company would be lucky to have her as part of their team.” February 27, 2009

Chris McFadden , Director E-Commerce IT , Discovery Channel - worked with Rebecca at Discovery Channel

“I was fortunate enough to work with Becky for several years at Discovery and I was constantly floored by her uncanny ability to "get stuff done". She was the critical point of contact in an often complex array of projects requiring multi-departmental communication, collaboration and project management. She speaks fluent IT, fulfillment, marketing, production, call center -- you name it, she understands it and knows what makes it tick. That means she can communicate and translate between diverse teams, which helped all of us stay focused on the goals, budget and timeline. If you want to get stuff done so you can grow your business, you need Becky on your team!” June 15, 2009
