Endorsements for Missy.

  • "Missy has the uncanny ability to lead by example. I had the opportunity to work with her for several years as together we led an organization and implemented significant operational changes. Missy was an excellent thought partner throughout that process, and provided strong leadership to the team. She not only implemented the changes we designed, but did so effectively by developing enthusiastic support among her colleagues for these ideas.."

    Georgia J., Board Chair

  • "In order for a collaboration to be successful, the senior leaders should be willing to give and take, have an institutional view and not the narrow divisional or departmental view. Missy is terrific at that. I have collaborated with her on many projects, and she has brought in fresh perspectives and thoughtful ideas that have resulted in much better user experiences than would have been otherwise."
