Allison was someone you could always count on to have a solution to your issue or she would doggedly find the answer if she didn't know it at the time. I had the pleasure of working with her in multiple roles at Perficient from the time she came into the organization until she left. I always enjoyed working with her on teams or just 1 on 1 in both a strategy role as well as when she was leading various sales teams and we needed her support. You can count on Allison to get a direct, no BS, well researched answer to your questions as well as someone dedicated to the task at hand.

Allison has a great communication style that supports tremendous business knowledge. She is able to manage complex business solutions and drive meaningful conversations/presentations while sharing keen client insights that add value in all proposals. As a supervisor, I have found Allison to be in a class by herself. She has a great ability to connect the dots to help move the sales cycle forward.
