I worked with Elise at SigFig when she was building the Marketing discipline there. She is super driven but very thoughtful, with a great strategic mind and welcoming of different points of views and opinions. Any company that needs the ultimate professional to build or lead Marketing as a strategic function within their organization would be lucky to be selected to work with Elise.
