Cheri combines a keen analytical mind with heartfelt intuition. As Chief of Staff, she provided guidance to each leader, deeply listening to our needs and acting as a sounding board, fostering strong bonds between leaders by encouraging empathetic reframing of issues and situations. She helped us balance our sometimes competing agendas so we could align and achieve synergy. Cheri’s calm and engaged demeanor encourages trust and reflection. She truly cares about people and honored and celebrated our differences, recognizing strength in a diverse collective of talents and personalities. When engaging with Cheri, I felt seen and understood. And I continue to be inspired by her joyful embrace of life.
