Bio
Mary Girard
Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach and mentor – but I did when I worked for Akemi. She manages the quality department with amazing efficiency, pulling together groups to turn data and information into useful and well-publicized knowledge. She confidently communicates this new understanding to ensure continued success and lasting impacts. Any employee would be luck to have Akemi as a manager.
VeRonica Mitchell, MBA, SCPM (she/her)
I had the privilege of working with Akemi in the Automotive Industry. The degree of leadership and execution she exhibited directly out of undergrad was amazing. She displayed strong technical depth, and clear execution capability. I would trust her to manage any project, assignment, or program with minimal direction. In the 3+ years I worked with Akemi her deliverables were consistently on time, within scope, within budget, and meeting requirements.
