Bio
Jackie Wilson
I had the great pleasure of managing Dawnda at North American Mortgage Co. She was a wonderful asset to the department and the company. She was a team player and always willing to do what was best for the team. She managed many projects for me large and small and always did an exceptional job of producing an outstanding product while working closely with many cross-functional teams throughout the organization. She would be an asset to any organization.
Dave King
I worked with Dawnda on numerous projects while at NAMC and Wamu. Dawnda always had an easy style that belied the pressure that was placed on her. She was always willing to answer questions. Her ability to see the big picture while working on smaller portions of the project. The result was that small issues that could have become major were dealt with quickly and correctly to ensure projects stayed on track. As a manager, would I hire her if I had an opportunity? The definitive answer is yes.
