Bio
Mike Forster
AJ is an incredible human being. She is the consummate professional that always strives for A+ work and regularly achieves that. She is hyper-organized and masterful at taking a complex, chaotic project and turning it into bite-size chunks that are welcomed and easily digestible by the product owners. Her unparalleled work ethic and ability are only matched by the compassion, empathy, and care she gives to her teammates and clients. I have met very few people that care about everyone around them as much as AJ does. I absolutely recommend AJ without reservation!

Alyson is, hands down, the most skillful PM I've worked with. She's efficient, hyper-organized and inquisitive, but she also brings humanity and a personal connection to her team and her clients that makes them trust and rely on her. AJ dug deep into the projects I worked with Generate Impact on, and was adept at solving problems, be they logistical, strategic or tactical. Her positive attitude gets teams over rough patches in projects. I've absolutely enjoyed working with her, and would do so again in a second.
