“Some recommendations take time to write, others literally are done within 2 minutes because the person is so authentic; Kristina is one of them. I've worked with Kristina for nearly 3 years at SurveyMonkey/Momentive.ai and there's honestly no one I would more highly recommend for a leadership role in marketing than her. Her area of expertise stretches way beyond demand generation which is why you'll find she is invaluable to any organization. Throughout our working relationship I've gotten to know Kristina as a smart, honest, caring, energetic and knowledgeable person. In summary: 1. Her people skills allow for her to easily connect with anyone in the organization, from all levels. 2. On top of that, she easily manages a range of high impact projects every quarter and makes sure business results are achieved. 3. Her growth mindset helps to continuously improve the work and results delivered by her and her team. 4. Finally, she doesn't shy away from a challenge, whether it's organizing the biggest event of the year or launching incredibly creative integrated campaigns, she owns it with her team and delivers on the promised results. I've worked with many marketers in my career and there is only a handful that you'll remember, that you'll continue to follow and that you hope, one day, will work for or with again. Kristina is one of those people. I've learned a lot from her and I truly hope that our paths will cross again in the future. I wish you all the best Kristina, thanks for everything!”

“Working with and for Kristina over the past 3 years has been the most impactful relationship I've experienced so far in my career. If you need to know ONE thing about Kristina, it is that she is incredibly creative, and always has at least 5 tricks up her sleeve for solving any problem under the sun. I met Kristina when I was an entry-level SDR, and quickly became very interested in the various programs she was kicking off. We teamed up to convert leads from new channels, which opened my eyes to the world of Demand Generation. With her guidance, I was able to make a career transition over to her Demand Generation team and report directly to her for over a year. Kristina impacted my career greatly by opening my eyes to all of the things any person or team can accomplish by crafting campaigns with the customer in mind. She is committed to collaboration with all cross-functional teams. She is relentlessly positive – there's no such thing as a dead-end or failure in her book, always a learning opportunity or a new possibility. She is so creative that she surprises seasoned marketers and entry-level employees alike with her bright ideas. She approaches each problem as a challenge that excites her. I could not ask for a better boss, mentor, and friend. I'm very grateful to have worked for and learned from Kristina over the past few years. She makes everyone around her excellent.”
