Bio
Jacqueline Rolli-Trang
I've had the honor of working with Rebecca over several years during my Lord & Taylor / HBC tenure. Rebecca is a consummate professional, highly efficient and conscientious in everything she undertakes. She is an excellent and inclusive team player, doing so with an infectious amount of charisma and humor (always the swan, calm above water). Rebecca would be a true and invaluable asset to any team or organization. I would love the opportunity to work alongside her again.

I worked alongside (and eventually reported to) Rebecca during my time at HBC and Lord + Taylor. Rebecca has continued to be a mentor and someone I truly admire both personally and professionally. I’ve witnessed firsthand Rebecca’s mastery for both her core role of event planning and projects that extend way beyond that. She is a devoted manager who goes above and beyond and sincerely cares about the growth and well being of her employees! I hope we get to work together again in the future.
