Bio
Angela Petrozzi
I have had the honor to work with Grace at Quartz. Grace is a one of a kind leader that gives above and beyond every day. She is extremely organized, reliable, flexible and willing to always help a colleague. Her attention to detail helps shape missing pieces in the business to better operate. Not only does she contribute to Quartz on a business operational level, but she also adds tremendous value to the culture. Grace is an enormous asset and has my highest recommendation.

Grace is that rare type of manager that doesn’t simply fulfill her job description, but one that thoughtfully and very intentionally spends her time thinking through how she can help you truly grow in your career. I’ve had several great bosses, but I’ve never grown as much and as meaningfully as I did under my time with Grace. She is decisive, thorough, contextual, and robust in her goal setting and expectations, and she truly accepts nothing less than your very best. Beyond that, she’s impressive to watch in action. Her eye for operational efficiencies and out-of-the-box problem solving are admirable skills that I’ll continue to strive to emulate in my future career. Definitely keep her in mind for new opportunities, speaking engagements, etc., as any situation that includes Grace is simply better for it.
