Praise

I’ve been privileged to work with and for some amazingly talented and capable individuals….over and over. These are just a handful of the people who have given me the opportunity to help them be successful.

Oh, and there are a few awards I’ve picked up along the way as well.

“Christina has the unique ability to repeatedly push the envelope of what’s possible. Not just putting forward innovative communication ideas, but also developing new processes to support the execution of these ideas – the A&O Live show she developed is a great example.”

Justin Slade, Communications Lead for CVP of Advertising & Online at Microsoft

In 2008 I was recognized with a Telly Award for the production of a corporate video for Microsoft and Infor.

“Christina is a rare talent and balance between right brain creative thinking and left brain strategic and logic. She has an uncanny ability to take a complex problem and pull out the most salient pieces, then weave them together to tell a story. Working with Christina is always a pleasure, as she is relationship and people oriented and always eager to hear all angles of a problem, so she can derive the best solution to meet the needs of client, customer, and partners.”

Samara Donald, Global Executive Marketing Manager, AWS

“Our mission at Mercy Corps is to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. A key component is to leverage new and emerging technology in an impactful way in the field. We created a concept of a program to research, design and test potential innovative solutions. Christina took the initial concept and turned it into an actionable program for a global audience using insights derived from primary research, stakeholder briefings and vision documents. Christina initiated actions, engaged smartly and operated with minimal supervision, handing off a ‘ready-to-go playbook’ with the necessary alignment with all stakeholders. She was quick, accurate, professional and delivered to a high quality. She is now on our roster!”

Alan Donald, CTO, Technology for Development at Mercy Corps

National award-winning public speaker, 1992-1993

“Christina is a great individual with a great work ethics and a natural creative mind and strategic thinker. She is always trying to find the best way of doing things. Christina brings lots of people skills, executive maturity, understanding of the business and ability to handle lots of situations that makes her a great asset for any organization.   I had the pleasure of working with Christina in the past several years as a peer and in my team, and she has always made solid contributions.   I strongly recommend Christina in any marketing capacity as a creative thinker and as a business leader.”
