Jessica Serrano
Lisa and I worked together on a couple of technology implementations to support the Recruitment function over the past 5 years with Provide Commerce. She was great to partner with - she has a solid and systematic approach to insuring the technology supported our business needs. She takes the time to understand your business challenges and leverages technology to solve for the business issues. She is definitely a driver and is able to create alternative solutions when needed.
