Bio
Belinda Goodrich
Jannette is a true and consummate professional. She leads her efforts with tenacity and grace, despite not having the resources she truly needs. She is process-driven and, as a fellow project manager, I absolutely adore that about her. By being process-driven, she provides exceptional outputs and assets for our clients that are highly professional and engaging. She has a keen eye, a strategic mind, and is truly a team player.

I had the privilege to work with Jannette at the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) and to manage her at Frost & Sullivan (2009-2014). While it should be taken as read that Jannette is a top notch graphic designer, she also brings a customer focus and entrepreneurial spirit to her work that is all too rare. For instance, she suggested and developed an infographic service that distilled key insights from client research projects into infographics. Moreover, she established the process for researchers and sales professionals to follow in creating, selling and delivering infographics to clients. Jannette provided the sales force with the business development materials to generate client interest and demand, and internal guidelines for pricing the infographic appropriately. The initiative generated incremental revenue immediately. This strategic ability to link the power of graphic design to commercial opportunities is unique in my experience. Jannette's project management abilities, communication skills and can-do attitude enhance the performance at the team, function and company levels.
