Bio
Jan Spencer Catalan „Mary has been nothing short of excellent, supportive, and essential during my time in Refersion. She had the perfect balance of focusing between skillfully completing her assigned tasks and all the while providing transparency, empathy, and technical knowledge towards me and my colleagues alike. During times of ease and difficulty, she has shown consistency in all her strengths and further nourishing a culture theming that working together and benefiting from each other will take us further than ego and incoherency. She has also remained open to learning and expanding her skillset from others and has shown drive in going above and beyond her current position to do what is required and beneficial for the team. Overall, Mary has positively impacted both my career and Refersion in a manner that goes beyond proficiency. I hope to see more leaders and managers share the same passion and kindness as she.
