We decided to work with Regan from 4-Vector to help us move our business forward. Our business is complicated, with several different projects all working simultaneously, it's sometimes hard to move any of them forward. Regan helped us identify what was important at the moment, be realistic about what could be done in a certain time frame, and helped us focus and set goals. Because of her guidance I feel that we have an overall more focused approach to running our business, and have achieved goals that have pushed us forward as a company.

I worked with Regan for almost 2 years at TRX and she was absolutely pivotal in the creation and execution of several critical product launches! Regan's excellent project management skills, cross-functional collaboration, and organization courage helped us navigate some bumpy roads and consistently led us to the finish line. Regan has a natural drive for results, she's a self-starter, and a strategic thought partner.
