Elizabeth is a great project manager who truly understands how to manage expectations. I was lucky to work with Elizabeth at Phocuswright for over 4 years where she facilitated many of my client-facing projects. She worked closely with data analysts, designers and clients to make sure we were all on track to meet our deadlines. She has a great sense of loyalty and even took on the responsibility of office manager to improve the day-to-day for the whole team.
