Testimonials

“I cannot compliment Christina enough. If she doesn’t know something inside and out through experience, she will research tirelessly until she has gobbled up every single bit of information possible.  She is not afraid of problems or work and will exhaust all leads and options to find the best solution. Christina is also very organized and great at creating repeatable processes that create consistency and high quality. Ownership and initiative are natural attributes that Christina embodies more than anybody I know.  She is polished and intelligent in her communication with clients, colleagues, executives and direct reports. She is thoughtful about her communication and purposeful in delivery.” – Ceneé LaTulippe, Chief Executive Office/Consultant, 5280 PMO

“I’ve worked with Christina in many different capacities over the course of my career – bottom line, you can’t go wrong with her. Christina excels in all areas, but her sweet spot is people and client management – she just gets it. I reported directly to Christina early in my career and she truly laid the groundwork for my growth and success. She’s an incredible team player and is always seeking out ways to collaborate, dig into the details and simply get it done. There is a never a “one size fits all” approach with her thinking – she is constantly re-inventing her strategy based on the situation, business need and who she’s working with and the results are always positive.” – Brittany Stack, Sr. Manager, Services Operations, Alchemy

Ogilvy

“I worked with Christina on a multitude of marketing initiatives and if I had to sum it all up with one sentence, it’d be this: she is one of the most buttoned-up, detail-oriented project manager’s I’ve had the pleasure of working with. When bullet-proof reliability, dedication and being quick on your feet is what’s needed when the deadline’s looming, Christina is the one I’d want heading up the project. Highly recommended.” – Martin Walaszek, Digital Strategist, Ogilvy

“Christina’s attention to detail is second to none. She is able to communicate accurately to all involved in her projects at all time, through multiple channels. Christina does a great job challenging current processes where broken or not efficient and always delivers quality solutions, on time. As a leader on the Professional Services team, I appreciate her taking the lead on many initiatives to improve the team’s performance, to coach the newer Professional Services team members and drive positive change across the team.” – Ryan Tamminga, VP, Professional Services, ReedGroup

DevIQ

“Christina is not only a joy of a human, but she is the most adept Project Manager with whom I’ve had the privilege of working. We worked together on a software development project, she representing our client as PM, me playing PM for the developers, and she drove progress and communication beautifully. I’m certain we would have collectively struggled without her involvement, and her leadership capabilities shine when she’s coordinating disparate teams to inspire collaboration. Even years later, she’s one of those people I actively stay in contact with, and I would highly recommend working with her (and her team) to cultivate successful projects and teams.” – Natalie Gonzalez, Senior Technical Project Manager and Product Owner, DevIQ

When it came to execution, her recommendations and tips regarding tools, note taking skills and organization were perfect for our organization. Last but, not least, she worked extremely well with our partners.” – Charles Rich, CEO/Founder, Source 360 Group
