testimonials

Amy helped manage all marketing for two emerging e-commerce businesses (Vine & Cellar and Marketplace) at Albertsons during a transition period, and I was quickly impressed with her ability to seamlessly onboard onto the team, and effectively navigate an extremely matrixed and relatively unstructured organization to get things done.

Amy is the total package which was ideal in this contract role - she has a strong presence and was able to work independently at a senior level, while also running point for all tactical execution. She was able to quickly understand the business proposition and desired positioning and translate that into an effective digital marketing plan and tactics. She worked closely with our photo studio and internal creative team to develop the creative concepts, and all of the disparate digital channel teams to execute on the plan, while also project managing the entire timeline. She is also an extremely gifted copywriter and developed a strong playbook for the new business.

Amy was a pleasure to work with all around and I would not hesitate to recommend her or work with her again.

Amy is one of the most effective and efficient marketers I have ever worked with. In just a few short weeks, she was able to help our company develop a marketing and communication strategy from scratch. In most firms, this would be a 9-12 month process; Amy achieved the same results in under 2 months!

Amy has the breadth of experience to help your organization, whether it is a large multi-national or an emerging start-up. My highest recommendation!

Amy worked for me in a number of roles in the Professional Products Division of Clorox. Amy has the unique ability of being able to think strategically and conceptualize different ideas and then quickly pivot to rolling up her sleeves and getting things done. For a new product launch for Clorox Healthcare, Amy was able to crystalize a compelling positioning for the product based on its unique benefits and then drive her vision all the way through to execution, creating a marketing campaign that had stopping-power but was also educational for her audience. She was also able to motivate and mobilize the field sales organization to accelerate adoption and sales in hospitals across the country.

In addition to Amy’s strong business acumen, she has a passion for public relations, creative marketing and written communication. Her writing skills are impeccable – she truly understands and connects with her consumer and/or professional audience while still advancing the business’ agenda. Amy’s technical writing is also excellent. She can take complex concepts and communicate them in a clear, concise and meaningful way for her audience. For Clorox Healthcare, Amy served as a ghost writer for clinical specialists where her work appeared on the CloroxPro blog, as well as for a renowned researcher where her article was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Her versatility as a marketer and business leader make her a valuable asset to any business.

I worked with Amy for nearly four years Clorox's internal comms team. In short, Amy was a rockstar from the start, quickly learning her responsibilities and, throughout our time working together, consistently meeting or exceeding expectations.

In particular, Amy demonstrated strong strategic writing skills, such as contributing articles for our intranet and employee magazine. She was also a trusted consultant to our many and diverse business partners, taking point on comms plans for various functional initiatives and events, as well as playing a key role in corporate projects such as the company's archive.

Finally, Amy was completely trustworthy, highly respected among business partners/leaders, well-rounded (e.g., supporting/participating in multiple employee resource groups), and generally just a joy to work with.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amy twice in my career. First, she was a consultant with CRA coming in to backfill me as I was departing from Kaiser Permanente. We then also worked together for several years on The Clorox Company corporate communications team.

I'll start by saying that any team with Amy on it is markedly stronger. She brings an admirable balance of strategic thinking, leadership, and bias for execution to any challenge she takes on. She is not afraid of learning new things and has demonstrated that over and over again as she has progressed throughout her career. Her ability to build relationships and quickly establish trust is a model for others as those relationships have been a key to the outstanding outcomes that she has put under her belt over the years. And she's never too proud to roll up her sleeves to get the job done.

Amy is an inquisitive leader, always listening first and seeking to understand. She adapts quickly to changing environments and maintains a positive and agile disposition. She also knows how to make work fun and brightens up any room she enters. 

Knowing Amy and getting to work with her, not once but twice, has been a highlight of my career and I'm sure for many others.

I have worked with Amy both as an employee at Kaiser Permanente and as a consultant. She has an outstanding work ethic and looks for the most collaborative and creative ways to deliver exceptional work. She has  a great ability to focus but more importantly knows how to deliver in a way that delights and engages both her stakeholders and the audiences she is trying to reach. She has incredible energy and an ability to make things happen. Working with her exemplifies 'win-win.'

Amy is the best employee I've ever had. It sounds like hyperbole but I mean it literally. In the interest of space, I'll focus on three things.

• Initiative, reliability, and results. My team took on a ridiculously ambitious set of objectives over the past two years--and accomplished them all. There is simply no way I could have done it without Amy. (I'd probably still be talking about half of it...but finding it hard to get traction!) With minimal guidance, Amy finds a way to get things done, consistently. She never lets down a client. She knows how to manage time and effort...how to break something down into manageable parts and help teammates get unstuck and moving. And she brings creativity and innovation to whatever she's doing. In short: If Amy says she is going to do something, consider it done.

• Teamwork and relationships. Amy is great to work with. She earns consistently glowing reviews from teammates and clients. She's patient, confident (but not cocky or obnoxious), and has a great sense of humor.

• Hard work and finding smarter ways to do things. Amy is an extraordinarily hard worker. She'll do whatever it takes. She can pull an all-nighter and never complain. But what I appreciate even more is that she has instincts for how to make things easier, more efficient, and more effective--so that there's less demand for 'heroics' the next time.

Amy is bright, dynamic, and always upbeat. A great writer, efficient and proactive, she is the most talented young professional I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She is sophisticated beyond her years and driven to success.

Amy is incredibly resourceful and always solution-oriented. She brings a wealth of creative thought and sound ideas to the table. Always mindful of her audience, she tailors her messages accordingly and writes effective communications pieces for all levels. She has a natural ability, and was a PR pro from the beginning.
