Bio
Annie Laurie Zomermaand
I had the pleasure to work with Betina at Educational Insights. Betina is passionate about developing quality products that will inspire and develop children. Her background in publishing, marketing and product development makes her an excellent partner for sales to bring products to the market. I would recommend Betina to any company that values professionalism, collaboration and a desire to succeed.
Liesl Kadile
I cannot say enough good things about Betina. Her management style is second to none. She is professional, organized, and highly detail oriented while still keeping an grasp on the big picture. Betina drives innovation and product improvements while managing budgets and negotiating with vendors to keep timelines and budget on track while delivering outstanding products. She is collaborative, intelligent, invested, and open-minded. Betina provides feedback in a clear, positive manner and it was such a pleasure being on her team.
