Colleen Turner

“Colleen is a true superstar who has earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues because of her extraordinary ability to serve as a champion for both her external clients and for our internal teams. Because Colleen is uniquely well rounded – smart, passionate and creative – and because of her many qualitative and quantitative talents, I have seen her break new ground in many categories as well as form lasting and important partnerships with brands, again and again. She would be an invaluable asset to any organization.”

“Here's the thing: everyone shows up at work. But not everyone shows up to bring high energy to their work--to be a well-intentioned collaborator and leader, and to be a champion of strong ideas, whether it comes in the form of Slack threads, in-person brainstorms, strategy sessions, etc. Colleen is that kind of person, though. When she shows up, you can trust that she'll show up for the work, and for the people in the room. It doesn't matter who or what your title is: she will help you solve whatever issue you are trying to get at. She'll think about it from a high level, universal view, and then from a ground level, combing strategy with tactics. So you need to put on a multi-day conference? A multi-tiered media strategy? A thought leadership communication model that works? Your budget shrunk? Your budget skyrocketed? Etc.? You name it, Colleen will get it done right. If anything, she'll give you pointers on making sure that you're thinking in the right ballpark in the first place. Colleen is someone who is invested in what she cares about. Her passion fuels every project and idea that comes her way. She is my favorite kind of colleague and collaborator to work with: Colleen can work with you to dream up big picture concepts, but she is always humble and supportive enough to help with the implementation process if needed (or, she will always be resourceful enough to know how to manage a team around her to execute abstract ideas into reality). She is a natural-born leader in any group dynamic and knows how to always direct the momentum forward so that everyone gets to the finish line together and on time. Colleen is a rarity. So don't miss out on getting the opportunity to work with her, to learn from her, to understand the way her mind ticks and the way she drives business and impact in anything that she comes across. Her cleverness will impress you, her wry, New York humor will make you laugh, and her taste and discernment in understanding what makes an idea a worthwhile investment will always make you feel confident and excited for the future.”
