Bio
Peter L Tierney
When Joyce is in the room, somehow everyone is smarter, more alert and engaged. She has a remarkable ability to effortlessly bring out the best you have - in thinking, perception, confidence.
Evan Williams
I have worked for, with and around Joyce several times. I cannot describe how impressed I am with her. I have worked, in my time, with some first rate people, of all descriptions. Joyce, however, goes way beyond that. It was not just wonderful to work with her, it was a privilege. Her competence, ethics, intelligence, knowledge and utter indomitable spirit are extraordinary. She is a peerless leader, and she benefits everyone with her management style. She is at once pragmatic and idealistic, egoless, yet a rock on which all can find firm footing. She is the best of the best. I can only say that once, about one person. I say that, here, about Joyce Dostale.
