    The ability to collect client’s complex business concepts and arrangements, synthesize this data and distill to find the essence of a problem is a highly valuable, not easily found and is a sought-after trait. In my collaboration with Michele, she demonstrated this in a remarkable and successful way. Her patience in working through a reiterative process proved invaluable for our project. Although complex, Michele was able to cut through the complexities and ambiguities to cut to the salient and vital facts. She drove us forward and overcame challenge with remarkable grace and documented insights we would not have otherwise found. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and final report which proved vital to the success of our project.
