Bio
Curtis Barrett
I had the opportunity to work with Alison and I have to admit that Alison is someone that deeply cares about the organization she works for. She was extremely responsive and her attention to detail makes it professional and refreshing as possible! I enjoy working with Alison and she is a true HR professional.
Sarah Levin
Allison was truly a pleasure to collaborate with. She served as my main contact during the KAR/Openlane merger that resulted in 30 new positions that needed to be staffed very quickly. Her organization, follow-up and patience were second-to-none, and made a nearly impossible feat manageable and enjoyable. She served as a true HR partner, and helped keep everyone—employees, contractors, and vendors alike on track and running smoothly, always with a sense of humor and a smile on her face! I would jump at the chance to work with Alli again!
