Bio
Rebecca Razo
I had the privilege of working with Anne Landa over the course of nearly a decade, and I can honestly say that I've never had a more encouraging, transparent, and engaging supervisor before or since. Before transitioning over as Anne's direct-report, I watched her take on her new role at the company with finesse and determination. Anne is smart, resourceful, and intentional in her approach to problem-solving and overcoming obstacles. If she doesn't know an answer to something, she will dig into the weeds to learn and understand the intricacies of an issue so that she can tackle the situation with a straightforward, strategic plan. As a direct report, I learned so much from Anne. She is open, honest, and always took time to answer my questions, mentor me, and offer her professional expertise freely and without reserve. She is genuine, compassionate, and truly only wants the best for those under her charge. She is a tireless advocate for her staff and colleagues and is a loyal and committed advocate for her employer. I highly recommend Anne Landa for any executive or leadership position.

Funny, open, honest...what more could you want in a boss!? As a remote employee, Anne always found ways of making me feel part of the team, which I so appreciated. Anne is direct--lavish with her praise and kind (but clear!) with her critiques--driven (goal-oriented and forward-thinking), and so, so knowledgeable. I recommend Anne wholeheartedly.
