Jamie is hands-down one of the most direct, driven by right, and capable leaders I’ve worked with and it’s been a privilege of my career to work with her. Jamie’s talents are myriad: she can work with anyone, to cut to the chase in a way that inspires others toward a clear path, and she is one of the most fun leaders out there. She is a leader among leaders.
