Bio
Rick Van Brimmer
I can't say enough good things about Natalie. She is a elite professional with a tremendous set of relationship skills, and true value-add to any team. We worked together as counterparts for many years, and she was always my "go to" at Coke for whatever problem needed solving, or if an idea needed vetting. Her accessibility and willingness to get her hands dirty when a job needed to get done was second to none. All of those things are great attributes, but when you add them to her pleasant personality and genuine caring attitude, you have a special person, a rarity in today's corporate world. She's a gem, and I can recommend her without hesitation or reservation!
