I worked closely with Joanna at vente-prive USA, and from the very first day Joanna was nothing but helpful and set a great example for me. Joanna has an amazing work ethic, and did a wonderful job of showing me the ropes and being available to answer any questions at any time. Joanna taught me to importance of attention to detail and helped me refine my own skills by being a great role model in the workplace.

I had the pleasure of working with Joanna for over a year at vente-privee USA. From Day 1, I was impressed by Joanna’s work ethic and diligence. She collaborated with me to implement a number of key finance processes and initiatives. Joanna goes above and beyond with any project and task that has been assigned to her. She also has a knack for anticipating follow-up questions and next steps. Joanna is a great asset to the finance team and I am confident that she will add tremendous value to any team.
