Bio
Brian Farkouh
I worked with Becky for almost 5 years, and, found her to be a smart, extremely capable person who not only has a deep understanding of the technical aspects of her job, but, understands the business relevance of the information provided. Becky's presentations and analysis were always thoughtful, thorough, and meaningful. The Sales and the Brand teams were able to answer questions,resolve issues, and develop action plans with Becky, because of her insightfulness. Becky was always responsive, cooperative and a team player. I highly recomend Becky.

I worked with Becky directly when she was hired and knew we made the right decision to add her to our team. She demonstrated the desire to produce quality work. Becky is very intelligent, she demonstrates a strong work ethic, and her attitude is always positive. She readily accepts challenging assignments and always provides a workable solution. I've seen her demonstrate persistence, and take ownership of assignments, and she really cares about the quality of her work. She is detail oriented, and with the majority of the work in our department being analysis driven, she strives for accuracy in her results, and achieves it. She is well-respected here and I would recommend Becky as a talented asset who would improve your organization.
