I had the privilege of reporting to Elisabeth at Location3 during her time as Account Director/Group Account Director. Not only is Elisabeth immensely knowledgeable of digital media and strategy, but her communication, organization and empathy made her a wonderful manager, leading not only to client success but my own professional development. Elisabeth is detail-oriented, calm under pressure and leads by example. I hope we cross paths professionally down the line as I feel I have a lot more to learn from her.
