Aaron Campbell
Not only is Adrienne creative, innovative and solutions-oriented, she is also charismatic, a joy to work alongside and a true gift to workplace culture. I've seen first-hand the focus and commitment Adrienne brings to solve any challenge before her and I could not recommend her more highly.

I worked with Adrienne for a year as colleagues in Corporate Partnerships at TIFF. Adrienne is smart, a hard worker, deeply cared about her partners, and did it all with a big smile. Working with Adrienne was a great experience and any company would be incredibly lucky to have her as I know she'll always make a strong impact and drive great value.
