Bio
Preston W. Thornton III, MBA
I have had the opportunity to work with Risa during her tenure at Inlet and Pitney Bowes. Risa possesses creativity, strong analytical skills and the ability to lead very complex projects and initiatives. She possesses the innate ability to bridge the gap between the business organization and the technical teams to ensure that there is precise clarity of business requirements. She is also very skilled at communicating technical constraints and opportunities to business leaders in a way that helps the organization properly assess technical requirements. Some of Risa’s additional strengths are: - User Experience Design - Web Design Practices and data analytics - Pragmatic product management processes - Business and Functional requirements documentation - Project management It’s been a true pleasure having Risa on my team.

Risa has both a tremendous breadth of experience and depth of knowledge across the digital landscape. If she doesn’t have an immediate answer, it is only because she is still thoroughly evaluating the data to present the best conclusion. However, in the mean time, she has a gut instinct that can be equally trusted. She asks the right questions of all audiences. She also has a peerless understanding of a product lifecycle and the iterative processes before and after launch – bringing continuous enhancement with each release. She is rarely surprised by the results of user testing, but in such an event, will quickly pivot to support the best solution. It is a delight to work with someone so skilled and passionate.
