Bio
Benjamin Lane
Trista knows how to get things done. From the simple to complex, Trista has an ability to positively motivate everyone around her to accomplish any task or goal set before her with ease. She is one of the most positive people I have had the pleasure to work with, and that positivity is contagious in the best way possible.

Trista is a great Project Manager. While at G/O Digital, I worked with Trista on multiple product updates and product launches that she was the PM over. She did a terrific job facilitating the key aspects of every launch, between every cross-functional department head and stakeholders. She is incredibly organized, diligent, and responsive. More impressive is her tenacity in ensuring that every stakeholder completed their portion of every project on time. Regardless of their title, she fearlessly got the job done. What stands out most about my experience working with Trista is her passion for the field of Project Management. When I moved into the Director of Pre-Sales Strategy, I did my first product launch, and Trista was the PM. Not only did she do a great job in managing the project, but she educated me on the entire product release process, and project management roles. Coming from sales, this was completely foreign to me. Her knowledge and love for the field is inspiring.
