Working with Janice and George was a pleasure, they consistently impressed us with their level of professionalism and attention to detail, and they were knowledgeable and responsive. They were instrumental in helping us deliver the project on time. I highly recommend book&brayer as a team that would add value to any environment.

Janice ran the team responsible for the customer success of WalkMe's largest strategic accounts. She was extremely effective in this role, building a winning culture inside her organization and true client partnerships that received full value from WalkMe's solution. Her positive energy, dedication, and tactful execution immensely benefited employees and customers alike, and her leadership was well respected across the company. I'd look forward to the chance of working with her again, and recommend her with highest praise.

Janice has the unique and often overlooked leadership quality of balance. She knows how to gracefully navigate the fine line of managing her team at a close level, while standing back and giving her subordinates the freedom to do their jobs. This dichotomy of balance not only allows Janice’s team to perform at a high level, but also allows her subordinates to grow and become better themselves. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside of and later under the leadership of Janice during our shared tenure at WalkMe. When I started my career at WalkMe it was clear that Janice had a standout reputation in the office. Every person had a story of Janice going above and beyond, and her reputation and performance helped set the high benchmark for WalkMe’s NYC Office. It was no surprise when Janice was promoted to a Customer Success Team Lead, and I was excited to be assigned to her team so I could learn from WalkMe’s best. Janice had the challenge of managing a new team comprised of two different roles at WalkMe. Although the roles shared a common objective, they had very different jobs to fulfill. On top of this, Janice’s team was comprised of a unique mix of individuals with varying level of experiences, skillsets, ages, and most importantly personalities. Janice was able to balance all of these factors eloquently. She approached and managed every one of her employees differently, giving attention to areas that needed improvement, stepping back when less guidance was required, all while promoting her subordinate’s winning initiatives. Janice is never one to seek praise. She empowers all the members of her team, which builds individual and team confidence. This fine balance achieved what every manager seeks, success. She is amongst a handful of colleagues I’ve met in my career who I’d happily and confidently work for or alongside of in any project/venture/business. Plain and simple, if you are lucky enough to have Janice on your side, then you have a humble winner through and through. I could not recommend her highly enough.
