Tamer A.

Having worked with Loree for the last few months, it's clear she'll continue to lead our team to exciting heights. Her experience, passion & supportive nature drives everyone to achieve their best. Loree is a real servant leader, and as a result, the team is motivated to outperform and poised for success!

Florent Toth

Loree is one of those rare people who combines her determination with the good humour and strong people skills needed to bring a whole team together. I had the pleasure of working with her across all of our NA enterprise leads. Any organisation would be lucky to have Loree as their sales team leader.

Shannon Stephens

Loree is also a pleasure to work with. She's thoughtful, kind, and someone who will always put her team first. She is fearless in her interactions with customers as well with the team. She is always willing to stand up for what's right & willing to have a hard conversation, yet she is also humble enough to listen and learn, with both with customers and internally. She has the self-awareness to know that other perspectives can offer new insights and the discipline to apply that perspective to improve herself and her team's performance. I definitely recommend Loree and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!
