Although short, I had the sweet honor of working for, and alongside, Liz at CMG Financial. Fortunate to have been hired by Liz to join her group as the company’s HR Coordinator, not only was she was a strong mentor for me in my development within the HR-function, she always knew how to lighten up the room and make people smile. Sorely missed, I’m happy to be able to now call Liz a friend.
Lauren Bareilles
Liz has been the most outstanding HR leader that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She has fine-tuned the balance of being professional while personable and easily wins over the respect of everyone who crosses her path. She dominates any challenge presented to her and has left not only our team, but our company in a much better place during her year here. Her humor is infectious, her work ethic is unmatched and she would be a true asset to any company lucky enough to have her.
