Bio
Eliza Steely
'Unwaveringly positive and supportive' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Stacy. I had the pleasure of both reporting to her and working along side her during her tenure as a Marketing Manager at HelpSystems. Stacy's uncanny ability to inspire her team, aggressively chase goals in a positive way, and unite teams across departments was unlike any manager I've seen before. She is fiercely loyal, can always find a silver lining, and was one of the best mentors I've ever had in my career. Oh, and her laugh is the most infectious you'll ever hear - it's impossible to not be happy around her! Any employee would be lucky to have Stacy as a manager or a coworker, and even luckier to have her as a mentor. She will be deeply missed at HelpSystems.

Stacy brings incredible passion and energy to bear on any work she does. She was our content specialist when I managed the Marketing Communications team at TeamQuest, and Stacy could systematically understand project goals, delineate key points to communicate, and produce material to drive awareness and generate leads. She draws from her sales experience to produce highly effective content, and she knows how to get things done. It was not unusual for Stacy to manage the production of 8-10 content pieces at once, all of which she would guide, edit, and approve on-time and within budget. She’s an absolute gem, and I would love the chance to work with her again.
