I got to know C.D. as a "Creator" with "very strong communication skills. ...finding things that aren't that good and making them good."

"C.D. has the rare ability to focus on both the forest and the trees, understanding how each piece of an organization fits into the big picture and streamlining workflows to meet goals efficiently. She is committed and tenacious yet relaxed and empathic, identifying change management needs and troubleshooting with a cheerful team spirit. Her impeccable organizational and project-management skills have proven invaluable, and her judgment is, in my experience, beyond reproach. C.D. is a great talent and an asset to every organization fortunate enough to work with her."

"When C.D. was working with us as a lecturer, she performed very well and did a great job. She provided practical tools, methods and skills for project management in the Clinical Development area, and was contributing stories and sharing perspectives from her own career. She enabled students to combine the practical with the theoretical and to develop an appreciation of the complexity of project management."
