“Donna is one of those rare humble technical PMs. As needed, she will handle the technical details from design to writing the code. However, she doesn't come off as a dev wannabe... she is a solid and centered PM who can walk the technical walk and gain the respect with developers without competing with them. She is a quiet leader who simply gets things done without fanfare. Among many of her duties, Donna handled the nastiest project at msnbc.com... the Elections... which involved ego maniacal stakeholders, an impossible-to-move deadline, last-minute requirement changes and an all-or-nothing launch day..... and she kept coming back every 4 years to do it again. Donna was always a pleasure to work with and one I could always depend on.”
