“I have been working with Michelle for almost 3 years now. And every day I am amazed by what Michelle brings. MIchelle excels in two of the rarest skills I have found in my professional career. An amazing leader with people - through great empathy and a beyond ethical approach to human relations. And the most disciplined worker I have encountered in my career - "say what she does she is going to do, deliver what she said she would" every single time. Above and beyond. And holding everyone accountable to this standard. I cannot imagine an organisation where Michelle would not deliver a lot of value. That rare combination of excellence is a very rare and valuable asset. I will actively look to work with Michelle again and again in any opportunity that may arise in the future.”
