Bio
Molly Rossow
Liz is one of those managers you dream to have. She is always looking out for her team and putting their success first. I worked with Liz for 8 years and saw her grow and develop in each and every role. She was great at working with cross-functional teams; bringing them together and resolving issues quickly. There was always a way to solve a problem. She never said no and would figure out the best way to proceed. Liz was the "go-to" person in the company. She was extremely knowledgeable when it came to systems, tools, processes, new product integration, publisher relations and industry happenings. I cant say enough good things about her. Any company is lucky to have her! I highly recommend Liz for any executive level management position.
