Bio

I had the pleasure of working with Linda while she was a senior consultant on a partner team at Microsoft. Linda was instrumental in several cross-company initiatives regarding this shared project. She was able to consistently deliver, communicate effectively across large groups, and set expectations so everyone was able to understand what was left to accomplish. Beyond her skills as a a consultant, which are plentiful and exceptional, she has great interpersonal skills and I enjoy working with her immensely. I would be fortunate if our professional paths cross again.

I had an opportunity to work with Linda at Microsoft on a highly visible project for her team. Working with Linda is truly a joy. Linda is a proactive, detailed oriented, hard-working, patient, empathetic leader with a growth mindset. Linda always looks out for the benefit of the entire organization she's working for (not just her immediate team), and she is highly ethical in her dealings. Without any hesitation, Linda would be a considerable asset to any organization, and she is always a joy to be around.
