I have had the pleasure of working with Marie for the past 5 years at SiriusDecisions in my role as an Account Executive. Marie has been an incredible partner; a great problem solver and teacher, extremely helpful, resourceful and a professional, friendly and kind demeanor when interacting with our clients. Marie represents SiriusDecisions very well!

German Ramirez, CPA

Marie is a very experienced, reliable and efficient Senior AR Specialist. Her pleasant personality and can do attitude have allowed her to efficiently manage the accounts receivable function at SiriusDecisions and significantly reduce DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) year over year, while maintaining great professional relationships with customers and internal stakeholder, particularly within the sales organization. Being proactive and having a problem solver attitude are embedded in Marie’s daily routines and clearly reflected in the quality and healthy aging of our accounts receivable. Marie was also skillful at managing the AP function and had full responsibility for processing, reviewing, and recording payment of vendor invoices and T&E reports. Marie also plays and important role, supporting the annual PWC audit. In addition, she is very good with Excel and is always ready to support myself, the Director of FP&A and the CFO with a great variety of Ad-hoc projects, including tax matters. As a Controller, I am very happy to have Marie as part of the finance and accounting team and have full confidence in her ability to resolve and find an appropriate solution for any new or unexpected challenges.
