I have had the privilege to work with Annie at Cymax, she managed e-commerce marketing for our mutual accounts. Her attention to detail, ability to collaborate and willingness to try new things make her one of the finest professionals I have come across. Her unique ability to granularize complex problems and solve it smaller more manageable increments makes her an envy of any team. All in all a team player, problem solver and collaborator that's Annie for you ina. nutshell
