I had the pleasure of working with Amy on two major product initiatives at CWT and I was thoroughly impressed by her forward thinking vision for the products she led and keen sense of balancing the full spectrum of product management. Amy is truly talented in taking abstract concepts and turning them into meaningful reality that perfectly blends the needs of the customer and the strategy of the organization. Her passion and drive to deliver an exceptional experience based on data and feedback are unmatched. It would be an honor to work with Amy again in the future.

I have worked with Amy for over 5.5 years and I can honestly say that she is one of the most target driven, vigorous and thorough professionals I have ever worked with. Working with Amy is very rewarding from a UX perspective – she brings to the table thorough Product and Marketing thinking that works harmoniously with UX thinking. Her unique value is being able to see the full picture, prioritize, set objectives, and then drill down to the the details to perfect the execution, based on the business goals and consumer insights. Amy has excellent process and delivery skills as along with a great gift to lead and solve problems. It was an absolute pleasure working with Amy, professionally and personally and I wish I would find myself working with her again in the future.
