Bio
Kira Braun Diamandas
Sybil is an easy person to endorse! She is an extremely bright individual, a 'thinking' person. When I say that, it is because she takes on her work not simply to get it done, but to consistently understand it better, to improve it, and tie it to the big picture. Sybil is a tenacious, witty, and pleasant person to work with, never resisting when asked to take on more. She has a thorough grasp of HR Administration and adds value at every turn. She can support a large organization with a fantastic ability to move at the speed of the business and change direction at a moment's notice. I worked with her on many projects and in different capacities and was always impressed by her! A ready, friendly smile speaks volumes and Sybil quite simply IS a joy.
