Bio
Zoë Winston
It's rare to have the opportunity to report to a director who is both a coach and a mentor, with a focus on developing people, but I have had that opportunity working with Courtney. I have worked with Courtney in both collaborative and direct report environments since 2014, working on projects that focused on leadership development and engagement. I am always particularly impressed by Courtney's ability to collaborate with diverse stakeholders--making sure everyone at the table feels seen, heard, and valued.
