Bio
Todd Stevens
Holly is a strategic thinker who is always focused on not just the short, but also the long term benefits and challenges with different opportunity sets. She is a problem solver extraordinaire with an eye towards creating long term value for the clients and communities she serves. She steps above the fray to focus on the issues that matter and gets others around her to do the same. I love that she is working day in and day out to better the Santa Clarita business environment and the community.

Holly is a remarkable executive and has shown herself very capable of improving organizations through her strong leadership and stakeholder relationships. Holly can make order out of chaos in a way that makes everyone involved feel valued and heard. I have worked directly with Holly and followed her career since we both left our mutual team. She has built strong teams everywhere she has worked and overcome extreme challenges through her amazing ability to see problems clearly and find creative solutions. I highly recommend Holly to any team looking for an incredible leader with personality, professionalism and charm!
