A selection of client testimonials:
Michelle is an intelligent, curious and hard working person who brings a great energy to her working environment. Michelle has been adept at supporting strategic thinking as well as getting hands-on when the need arises. Michelle understands deeply the importance of connecting with the people to improve the efficiency of an organization. Michelle is always willing to work outside of the day job, to reach across and help others and share knowledge.
Michelle has been a key member of and great contributor to my Change and Transformation team. She has excellent process design and improvement skills and these were evident as she supported a major investment project to implement a new HR and time & attendance system for almost 5000 colleagues. Most recently however her process design and project management skills have proved invaluable as we fundamentally reinvented new ways of working to cope with the COVID outbreak. I would highly recommend Michelle as a highly capable, professional and delivery focused Project Manager and designer of lean processes to drive continuous improvement. An all round good egg!
I have worked with Michelle in the past and would certainly do so again. Her experience in her field is second to none and her professionalism, drive and knowledge helped deliver against customer and business requirements. She integrated perfectly into the team and became a valuable and effective member immediately. Michelle can work with staff across all levels from agent/admin to Head Of/Director/COO. I would not hesitate to employ her.
