Bio
Emilie Herman
Alison is a rare combination of experience, excellence, curiosity, consistency and generosity. At Wiley we worked together on a project to review, align and optimize workflows across the organization. I was impressed by her deep understanding of content processes, technologies and organizations – and I marveled at how she wove them together to deliver meaningful change. Alison is often the voice in my head at work: insightful, direct, witty when it’s needed most, thoughtful always. I give her my strongest recommendation!
Ally Dunnett
Alison is a highly respected and popular colleague, whose formidable people skills enable her to build, motivate and get the best out of her teams, including during tumultuous change, while communicating eloquently and incisively across cross-functional peer groups. Process-driven, and with a depth and breadth of experience in publishing and education, she is eminently equipped to lead both long-term strategic projects, and tactical projects with challenging targets.
Matt Winslow
In the time I worked with Alison, she was an inspiring mentor; a savvy leader; and a trusted friend. She leads with integrity and compassion. Always sharp of wit, never sharp of tongue. Alison is the leader you want managing your operation and your team!
