"Emily's one of the most creative, energetic people I've worked with. She took a completely unknown company and put it on the map. Through her efforts, we were on the front page of the Wall St Journal, on drive-time radio across the country, and written up by Yahoo! She did that all in a very short time, in a crowded marketplace, and with what seemed like a shoestring budget." Hank Margolis, Strategic Innovation Executive, Salesforce.com

“Emily joined our team as lead communications consultant during a critical point in a large scale Business Process and Systems implementation. She successfully worked with all impacted parties from leadership to system users to quickly resolve issues and establish metrics, stability and confidence in our new processes and systems. She has an excellent way of reading her audience and determining the best approach to change and communication and successfully guides others in the direction they need to go. I highly recommend Emily as a strong change / communications lead.” Pauli Kennelly, PMO Director, Best Buy
"Emily supported me and my team two ways: first, with the release of a major infrastructural change, where she helped lead us on communications, stakeholder management, service-level definition and business value assessment. Second, Emily helped define organizational strategy, planning, service level management, and operational governance. She covered a very wide range of material, created excellent and innovative communications and analyses, operated at a highly professional level with no supervision, and made all of our lives better. I'd be very happy to work with her again!" Luke Wimer, EVP, Global Technology & Operations, MoneyGram
"Emily is an excellent communicator who brings energy, innovation and clarity to any message. Her leadership and her skills were most evident when she was leading large change initiatives. I hope to work with her again in the future!"
Anne Sample, Chief People Officer, Caribou Coffee/Einstein Noah Restaurant Group 
"I worked alongside Emily on a large, multi-million dollar, multi-team systems upgrade project. We worked together in the areas of communications and change management. Her work and advice was timely and useful. As one of the leaders on the project team, Emily guided, coached, supported, performed, and directed work (depending on the situation and players). She both smoothed the road and tore it up as needed for the situation, and we had a better result because of it. Emily challenged me and my peers to be better and do more. I would work with Emily again anytime." Carrie Meyer, Director, Support & Communications, Controller's Office, University of Minnesota
"Emily is a highly intelligent, focused leader who takes initiative to get real results. She took on a huge amount of responsibility during our largest crisis in 30 years. She is high energy, organized and confident.” Stephanie Farsht, Target, Strategy Group Manager + ARC Board Member
