Bio
Bert Nieves
Carol and I collaborated on several fronts on next generation security products. Her intersecting skills and expertise across the data analytics, threat intelligence and the cybersecurity space uniquely positioned her as a top resource for our team and the broader organization. I was most impressed with her strategic insights using big data and predictive analytics to form viable product concepts and partnerships. Her ability to engage, collaborate and lead early incubation efforts across design, marketing, engineering and CTO groups will be sorely missed.
Marc Crespi
Our CEO hired Carol as an executive level business development asset at 2 different companies. I worked with Carol extensively in both situations where she was responsible for building strategic alliances. Noone could build relationships faster. She was successful in working with even the largest target partners from scratch and showing them why it was crucial to work with the companies she represented. She quickly figured out who the key players were, got to them, and cemented the relationship. She consistently delivered significant results for the partner as well as the company she represented. I was always glad she was on our side versus having to compete with her. I hope to work with her again.
