Kevin Coakley

As one of the co-founders of ThinSilicon, we were very pleased to have Samantha join our team. Within our "multiple hat" startup culture, Samantha eagerly and competently completed all tasks assigned to her. When we needed someone to take up HR responsibilities, she filled the void. Get the budgets done? She was right there and on time. Last minute changes? She did all we asked for and more. Despite the fact that ThinSilicon ultimately ceased operations, Samantha made every effort to make our company a success. It was a pleasure working with her.
