Bio
David Simon
I’ve worked with Hillary over the past 15 years, during which time we collaborated closely on a variety of key business partnering programs. Hilary is a true pleasure to work with, both personally and professionally. Whether it is a new or existing project, she’s quick to jump in, assess what is needed, and focus on progress. In doing so, she brings a wonderful ability to critically review decisions and come to valuable and clear conclusions. Hillary brings a tremendous amount of capacity and skillset to projects; her analytical mind, business savvy, and people-skills combine to create thoughtful contributions and positive energy. Over the years Hillary has made my work stronger and she’s poised to team-up in any new endeavors with her valuable skills and enthusiasm in hand.

After working with Hillary Ellner for more than 13 years I can only say that she is a truly dedicated employee with the interest of the company at heart. Passion paired with a keen ability to analyze and solve complex issues, and then implement strategies will make her a highly valuable contributor to any organization. A quick learner, she will thrive in her responsibility. I miss working with her.
