Kay is smart, experienced, calm and professional. She has experienced the full range of corporate stages from a startup company to a mature entity, and has a knack of being able to blend the science of HR with corporate strategy and talent assessment. She is a very effective coach, with the ability to mentor and counsel a wide range of executives and staff members. I would highly recommend her for any consulting or operational role.

As a former executive team colleague of Kay’s at a start-up telecommunications company that grew to more than 1000 employees, I have witnessed first hand the value she adds to organizations as well as to individual employees. Kay was a key initiator and proponent of our corporate culture, which ended up being our primary competitive differentiator. She excelled at both strategic and tactical levels under her purview but as importantly, was a significant, valued voice on the executive team. Her coaching of executive team members was critical to our success as an organization.

One of Kay’s gifts is the ability to strategically link the business and it’s needs to the people who get the job done. She is a highly respected professional in her field. She’s a solid leader that will positively impact any organization with which she partners because she is strategic, goal oriented, results driven and doesn’t hesitate when it comes to executing a plan. Kay has the ability to motivate people and manage the details, while keeping a high level view of the overall strategic direction. She is the total package.
