Jack Ryan

Mildred is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable accounting and financial manager. I constantly sought her advice and opinions on numerous financial issues particularly those involving GAAP and FASB pronouncements and regulations as she was clearly the subject matter expert in the corporation. I interacted with Mildred on a daily basis for input into budgets, forecasts, and analysis. She was also invaluable within our international operations based on her global experience. She is the consummate team player. I would not hesitate to hire Mildred for a wide range of accounting/financial management roles.

Mildred is an efficient highly motivated manager able to juggle multiple tasks. She is smart, well informed, dedicated, driven and has a proven ability to get tasks completed on time. She gives respect and in turn commands respect. She's understanding, kind and is able to brighten the office with her laughter. I admire her tremendous ability to balance work and life beautifully.
