“Kate and I worked closely together at Polaroid where she was successful in a variety of marketing communication positions as well as executing important industry events. Post-Polaroid, I hired Kate to plan and organize a very important dealer meeting attended by over 150 dealers in an international location. The event was so successful that our dealers were still talking about the event 5 years later. The meeting never would have been as successful without Kate's' creativity and commitment. I strongly recommend Kate if you are interested in running a best-in-class event.”

“Christopher Greenslade and I negotiated a hotel win, client win contract for the 2009 NOVA Conference. It was refreshing to work with a customer that had a thorough understanding of the contract clauses. Chris worked diligently to get the best deal for his client, while understanding the hotel requirements. The partnership and integrity that Chris brought to the relationship went a long way when due to the economy there had to be some re-negotiations. The entire experience from the RFP process through program execution was delightful thanks to Chris’ knowledge and professionalism.”
