Janet is team player the moment she joins a team. Her ability to remain calm in stressful situations proved to be an asset. Janet is dedicated, efficient and organized. Janet takes the time to analyze situations and is prepared for whatever direction the situation throws at her. Janet is able to tailor her approach to achieve the best results, even when faced with the toughest of personalities. If I had the chance, I would work with Janet again.

Janet is an impactful and strategic leader of administrative and office services teams. I have known Janet for over 10 years. She was my transitional coach when I assumed an administrative management role at KPMG. I can attribute many of my successes as a manager to her - she readily shared her best practices and insights with me. She is strong at coaching and talent development. I would describe her leadership style as a proactive ‘doer’ - empathetic,visionary, inclusive, and courageous.
