Kevin McKay
I have had the opportunity to work for Heidi for three years at Franklin Energy. As a manager, she is strong at holding people accountable for getting results. She is a big proponent of allowing her team to work independently; yet she is willing to step in to help find solutions to problems, or "take the hit" when needed. We regularly had 1x1 development meetings. She realized my interest in growing in the company, and offered methods and suggestions to help me excel. Heidi has a down-to-earth and relaxed management style. Strong with process developing. Heidi's ability to grow Franklin Energy offerings at the utility companies was massively important to the company.

Heidi's positive attitude and inclusiveness makes her a strong leader. I was on the business team that Heidi managed as an energy advisor and was often in the field. Although I was away from the office, I knew I could rely on Heidi's guidance through any issues I'd encounter. She would always respond quickly and thoughtfully, helping me grow professionally and take on new challenges. As our work evolved, Heidi would consistently recognize individual contributions and welcome all new members to keep us energized and motivated. I loved working with her.
