Michael Beebe, PMP
I have had the privilege of working with Annette for the last six years at Transitions Optical. Annette is a highly organized leader and project manager with a strong ability to drive a multifunctional team towards the project goal. Annette works very effectively with all levels of the organization, across multiple departments, with the ability to engage the appropriate subject matter experts to ensure the desired outcome of the project and communicate project status and updates to all stakeholders. Annette's background and experience in risk analysis, quality engineering, new product development and leadership make her uniquely qualified to lead a team through complex obstacles and to a successful conclusion. I would gladly and confidently recommend Annette for any position in Quality Engineering and Process Development and Improvement. Annette has the preparation, communication and leadership skills that would benefit any organization.
James Kieffer
I've worked with many employees of my working career. Very few have the multitasking ability, and more importantly, the ability to work effective with absolutely everyone. This is demonstrated by the trust and respect employees give her. She is extremely professional and is always focused on the objective. Annette is very well rounded in her skills for example, working with shop-floor software, Excel power-user, employee engagement, coaching and managing others. In addition she has been trained in many areas including Lean, 5S, ISO 9001, risk management and error proofing . I can't recommend Annette enough, she is simply very talented and great person to work with.
