Bill O'Shea

“I worked with Yvonne for 2 years while at Udemy. Yvonne was one of the executives I most admired and thoroughly enjoyed working with. I found Yvonne to be super smart, hard working, highly collaborative and results focused. Yvonne was one of the most respected executives across the Udemy global business. I have no hesitation in recommending Yvonne and I have no doubt that any organisation will be lucky to have Yvonne on the team.”

“Yvonne is one of the best managers I have ever had for these following reasons: 1. Great team leader: Yvonne consistently gave me the autonomy and support to own a problem from end-to-end, while also providing clear focus and direction on what the most important goals were and what the highest leverage activities to achieve those goals were. 2. Great mentor: Beyond the scope of work, Yvonne consistently would have career conversations with me that were highly impactful and helped me pave my own way post-MBA. And she helped talk me out of skipping the 2nd year of my MBA to continue working for Udemy (although given their tremendous trajectory in the past two years, I sometimes wish she had not been so persuasive...) 3. Effective force-multiplier: Generally speaking, Yvonne is one of the most effective people I have ever worked with in my career. In addition to building a strong team, she also does a tremendous job in building credibility and rallying support for the team across the organization. I never had to worry about any politics because she had strong partnerships and was seen as a leader across the organization. Lastly & most importantly, Yvonne always saw me first as an individual before she saw me as a direct report, and for that, I remain grateful to have worked with her and would 10/10 work with her again. ”
