Bio
Anne Witzofsky
Julie is one of those rare 'go to' co-workers. When Julie and I worked together at Maritz, whenever I needed information about financials or Excel, I would go to Julie. She not only greeted me with a smile, but she was also consistently able to answer my questions - correctly. If she didn't know the answer, she was always willing to tell me where to find the answer. Julie is exceptionally detail-oriented and hard working, fun to work with and gets the job done. Julie collaborates with her peers, shares knowledge, is helpful to others and jumps in to take on tasks to keep her peers projects on track. It would be a pleasure to work with Julie again.

I worked closely with Julie in her roles as an Account Director and Planning Director at Maritz. I found her to be a very disciplined and energetic team member. During those years we experienced tremendous growth and Julie was always focused on her client's needs and consistently delivered. On top of that, she always had a smile for everyone she met. During this growth period, Julie continued to take on additional responsibilities while never wavering from her commitment to excellence.
