Keri and I worked together for a few years at FPL. She was a great team member - always eager to find ways to add value and step up to help team members. She has a consistently positive attitude which allowed her to work well internally and externally with clients. I appreciated Keri’s thoughtfulness and creativity in how to best address client issues.

I had the honor and pleasure of Managing Keri Brownell for a few years and knowing her for many. She is intelligent, curious and loves to learn. She is dedicated, honest, loyal and one of the hardest working individuals I have been fortunate enough to work with. Keri has exceled at every position and has a great analytical business sense. She would be an asset to any company.
