Neala is an extremely smart and highly capable leader who can juggle multiple competing priorities. I worked with Neala on various assignments during her tenure at A&M. In each assignment she was a skilled and proactive problem solver, always showing growth from previous work. She leads with ease and has strong analytical and stakeholder management skills on top of a deep understanding of how Private Equity transactions work. I enthusiastically recommend her.

Neala was my student in Strategy at IE Business School. She has excellent strategic and critical thinking skills and understands how to effectively apply strategic thinking to tasks and responsibilities. In reviewing the assigned work, it was clear to me that she is able to process large amounts of complex information quickly, often connecting the dots when others cannot. These factors combined with her understanding of legal and regulatory matters make her a natural strategist. Throughout the course, Neala actively participated in class discussions, contributing original ideas that enriched the learning experience for everyone. She was a top performer in the course, receiving the highest grade possible. I am certain she will succeed wherever she goes and I recommend her without hesitation.
