Bio
Steve H.
I was fortunate to have worked with Caryn at EBlock. Caryn was the Account Manager for part of my team. She came to the company with no automotive knowledge but was a very fast learner. Her professional skills of being able to anticipate what the team needed BEFORE they needed it were amazing. Caryn also has what I would describe as a steadying calmness about her when working with a team. Anytime our team needed Caryn she was there and fully prepared for whatever came her way. I recommend Caryn to anyone who is looking for a partner that can trust and believe in.
Angela Ivey
I had the great privilege of working with Caryn at the World Golf Hall of Fame. Caryn led many projects and initiatives during her tenure at the company and there was always a comfort and confidence in knowing she was involved. Her attention to detail, ability to think through processes and logistics from different perspectives, efficient project management skills and dedication to excellence make her an excellent project leader. Caryn’s upbeat personality, positive attitude and willingness to do whatever needs to be done for the team’s success make her everyone’s favorite teammate. Any organization would be very lucky (and smart) to have Caryn on their team.
