Our senior management worked with Michelle as she mentored us on long-term strategy. She brought a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and energy to the meetings. By asking tough questions and getting down to the nuts and bolts of our business Michelle had an incredibly positive impact and we are in a much stronger position as a result.
