“Mary is an excellent team leader, a strategic thinker, and someone who also rolls her sleeves up to get critical work completed without hesitation. She was able to jump in to a challenging start-up situation, quickly assess and prioritize needs, and implement solutions that simultaneously helped grow the business, reduce complexity and cost in operations, and position us for future expansion with stronger capabilities. Mary held a diverse set of responsibilities that exceeded typical COO responsibilities, and she deftly managed customer relationships, implementation projects and development projects, board relationships, team members, contracts and consultants. She is an organizer and a doer, and strong leader who sets clear goals and high standards and ensures they are met, and she is an excellent collaborator at all levels of an organization.”
