Very efficient and hard working manager. I had worked with Christina in different capacity for over 10 years and I have always known her as a smart, talented, organized manager. Her ability to always have the information quickly comes from her expertise and vast knowledge on the subject matter and made difference in resolving issues quickly. Christina would be an asset to any team and she has my highest recommendation.

Anna Ramenda, CICP

Since our meeting at then Hitachi Data Systems (now Hitachi Vantara) back in 2011, Christina was for me the go to person when it comes to leasing related matters. No matter the date or the hour she's been always ready to assist both my collection and cash allocation teams but also our customers. Thanks to her devotion, experience and knowlegde we were always able to resolve any issue that came our way, hand in hand. I'd love to work with her again.
