Tenacious and detail oriented are a couple words that come to mind when I think of Yvette. She performs all tasks assigned to her in a timely and professional manner. Plus, her easy going personality make her a joy to work with.

It was a pleasure working with Yvette. Since her first meeting appearance, she showed herself to be not only attentive and professional, but also someone who would dig deep to find the root cause and solution to our supply chain problems. Yvette has a genuine passion for learning that extends to all aspects of her business life. She started out strong when she came to Greene Tweed and continued to grow into one of the most trustworthy members of the team. I would be honored to work with her again someday.
