Rebecca has an excellent knowledge of modern delivery practices and her broad experience of working for different clients in different industries and regions made her a really valuable peer. Her passion for doing the right thing for her team and clients shone through with her work. I learnt a huge amount from working with Rebecca and she consistently challenged my assumptions and biases and used her experience of leading a regional delivery function in MENA to help set the standard for other regions.

Within a few days of starting, Rebecca had picked up multiple squads and projects and clearly understood both the operational and systemic issues that were impacting delivery. She created action plans to address problems and delivered on them. I would not hesitate in working with Rebecca again.
