Bio
Kara Walsh
In our time working together on the marketing team at Travelzoo, I benefited from many of Angie's professional strengths and enjoyed working with her so much as a wonderful human. To name 3 things that Angie does like no other: she has a crazy capacity for getting stuff done, across a myriad of projects and cross-functional relationships; she truly cares about the professional development and well-being of colleagues and nurtures them through their path; and she has a healthy curiosity and hearty appetite for her own learning and development that pushes her to tackle new challenges in unchartered territories with zeal. It was a great experience working with Angie, and I hope to do so again one day!

Angela and I worked side-by-side at Travelzoo for nearly a decade -- from Producers to managers to co-managing the North America Production Team at Travelzoo. She has impressed me at every step with her smarts, dedication and moral compass to do the right thing in difficult situations. As she gained more responsibilities at Travelzoo I saw her exceed expectations at each step and commit herself to ensuring the job was done well while meeting deadlines. Angela leads her teams well -- pushes those who need it, promotes those who earn it and is respected by each team member. She is also respected among her peers and upper management -- many times I've heard colleagues wonder what Angela's take on a situation would be before making a decision. I wish her the best success -- knowing that she'll do what it takes to make sure she and her team are successful.
