Ken Smith
I had the pleasure of hiring Carol to build out a Strategic Vendor Relationship Management program and it was one of the better hiring decisions I made while serving as Vice President of Vendor Management at First Technology Federal Credit Union. Carol proved to be extremely adept at laying out a program framework and establishing the strategic and tactical layers for the program. Her ability to achieve material results in a short period of time are the result of her excellent interpersonal and planning skills. Carol worked effectively across organizational boundaries and was able to quickly demonstrate the benefits of the program to her business partners and establish a solid and effective corporate program. As a result, we were able to increase the value extraction from our $50M third party vendor base by 20% in a relatively short period of time. Above all, I was particularly impressed with Carol's ability to handle complex vendor service delivery and relationship scenarios and drive them to resolution. This required a broad set of problem analysis and consensus building one does not typically find in one individual. That skill often takes years to develop, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. Carol was an asset to me, the team and the organization and I would recommend her without reservation to anyone considering hiring her.

I have worked directly with Carol for 3 years in the Global Reverse Logistics Group at Intel. I have found her to be committed, focused on detail and highly professional in every aspect of her work life. She is a willing teammate with a focus on solving problems, developing solutions and driving accountability. Carol is a pleasure to work with on any project and I would recommend her highly.
