Bio
Janeen Lawlor
In the field of communications, there only a few people you want "in the room" during crunch time. That person needs to be calm in the face of intense pressure; have the ability to take very little direction and handle whatever is thrown his or her way; continually prioritize and reprioritize to ensure that critical activities are handled efficiently and seamlessly; remain organized and be able to identify resources on demand; and churn out high quality work regardless of the length of the crunch time. Liz Walsh epitomizes these qualities, and is one of those people that everyone wants in the room. Liz is a strong team member that is trusted by colleagues and clients alike. She is particularly strong at event planning and execution, advertising creative partnership and execution, material and resource development, and creative development. In fact, with her creative eye and vision, Liz always brings an additional layer to all of her work. One of the best qualities of Liz is a quiet one--her ability keep track of the multiple--sometimes conflicting--positions of the clients and the account team. To most effectively manage the client relationship, she plays the role of client advocate--ensuring that the client gets what they asked for, and that the relationship is well respected and maintained. This is a quality that served her well during time of crisis management as well as during standard operations. Relationship management is the key to successful agency-client operations, and Liz's skills in this arena have served both her clients and the agency well. I highly recommend Liz for any position or role.

I had the distinct pleasure of both working with Liz as a client at Entergy, and later, as her managing director at Burson-Marsteller. She is an exceptional communications professional with a keen eye for the smaller details which can often go unnoticed when working on massive projects. That skill alone puts her far above the rest of the pack, and when fused together with her other considerable abilities, Liz Walsh is a great addition to any team.
