Bio
Lyndsay Boettcher
Chanda is a fantastic project manager. With grace and patience, she manages the natural bumps and pivots in any project. The projects that we worked on together were long-term and highly complex with over 100 people working on them. These types of projects are very challenging to manage with organization, communication, and stakeholder engagement. Chanda has demonstrated over and over again that she is a master at all of these skills and more. She is gracious and relationship-oriented but tenacious about getting the work done. She is a true partner that is willing to dig in and understand all aspects of the project in front of her. She is a highly capable, valuable member on any project.
