Bio
Brian Petzke
Emma is a fantastic teammate who I would flight alongside down in the trenches any day. Not only is she tops at leading projects to completion, she is great at asking smart questions while picking up the slack and/or covering those duties of others. 10/10 would recommend.
Shawn Stout
Emma was an excellent PM during her time at Knetik. While already successfully managing one major project, she was then asked to handle a secondary struggling project where client relations had broken down and was able to get the project back on track. Requirements were scoped properly and deadlines were met. She was both a joy to work with and a consummate professional.
