I can't say enough wonderful things about Julia! The first words that come to mind are "She gets it." She takes the time to fully understand all of our clients to ensure that we can help them successfully achieve their goals. And most importantly, she takes the time to research and speak with clients to make sure that the products we are building are solving a business problem and will make their lives easier, along with meeting and exceeding targets. Julia always gives 110%...never less! She is also a delight to be around...both colleagues and clients look forward to speaking with Julia. I can't recommend her enough, and I hope we are able to work together again...I would hire her in a heartbeat!
