“In my time working with Emily, I learned a lot from her. But the most important thing I learned is that she is an ideal teammate for marketing a complicated technical solution to complicated end users (software engineers, in our case). She brings strong competencies and experience in core marketing skills, but what makes Emily unusual (and valuable) is she has an Agile software engineer's style. She is disciplined and organized, but she knows that working to serve customers is way more valuable than working on your plan. She knows that understanding "why" you are doing things is more important than a list of "what" you are doing. She values velocity, so she prioritizes work quickly and moves fast. She knows that feedback is a gift, and works confidently in the open without worrying about "being wrong". She is quick to pivot when learning new information. She treats perfection as a personal goal and pushes herself to meet the highest standards, but she never lets that get in the way of getting real customer feedback early and often--even when the work is early stage. She believes in the strength of the team and puts others first to make sure they get their time in the sun, never asking for her own. Her seemingly limitless energy, enthusiasm, focus, and optimism buoys a team, and encouraged me in the many tough projects we did together. I recommend Emily with no reservations, and I'd work with her again in a NY minute.”
