Bio
John Markey
It has been a genuine pleasure working with Lenny for the past year. She joined a brand new team, tasked with mastering a new platform and configuring 50+ sites, alongside being responsible for testing their releases, being an escalation point and lending her expertise to the support team amongst many other duties all to strict deadlines. We simply couldn’t have accomplished what we have without her - demonstrating a true reflection of her abilities. Her character, attitude and technical ability has made her such a valuable asset to the team, so I couldn’t recommend her enough. I would gladly work with her in the future without any hesitation.
