TestimonialS
KRISTI LUNDGREN, SVP INDUSTRY PRODUCT MARKETING| Salesforce
“It took me a nanosecond to agree to write Dani an endorsement - which is only slightly shorter than the time it took for me to be impressed by Dani. Since getting to know her - it's clear Dani is one of those people whose picture will hang in the work hall of fame. She manages to strike just the right balance of fun with "get 'er done," which makes partnering with her even on tough and time-sensitive projects a pleasure. She is gifted at bringing people together - rallying diverse stakeholder opinions into something creative and cohesive. She possesses the right kind of Salesforce smarts - always putting the needs of the business above her own - as I am lucky enough to observe firsthand on the massive web redesign project. She challenges the status quo thoughtfully and has the EQ to know when to acquiesce to move the group forward. I don't know if I'm more impressed with her work ethic and dedication - or the fact that she manages to do it all without losing her cool or kindness. It's a privilege to endorse Dani, and I hope to get to work with her for years to come.”
Jordan Lassaline, PROGRAM MANAGER | Salesforce
"Dani is without a doubt, the best boss I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She is an incredible mentor and advocate who always championed my career at Salesforce. She's also the exact right mix of hands-on when I needed support with a tricky project issue/escalation, but allowed me the space I needed to own my own process and projects. She's absolutely phenomenal."
Lauren Esposito, Vp, GLOBAL BRAND MARKETING | Salesforce
"Since Dani joined the digital PM team I've been extremely impressed with her ability to dive in, understand the multiple moving parts and roles our projects take, and be effective in driving them forward. One of the strongest qualities Dani possess is her proactivity towards ensuring everyone is aware of the project status, the next steps, and that individual teams know what is coming down the line. Since Dani has joined I felt that our digital team has been more organized and collaborative. Dani is easy to do business with and is able to adapt and pivot in our fast paced environment. She's always calm and collected, even when things go south or there is an executive fire drill. I've been grateful for what Dani has brought to the team, and I think her leadership and style of Program Management is something that others on the team could learn from."
Steve Swanson, MANAGING DIRECTOR | DigitasLBI
"Great team leadership, VERY calm under pressure. Can make the complex, simple."
Jenny Lee, LEAD PRODUCER, CUSTOM CONTENT | Pandora
"Dani is one of the smartest and hardworking people I've had the pleasure of working with. She's not only a killer project producer, jugging multiple programs of various complexity and scope, but she's also a strategic marketer and visual thinker. She's turned many whiteboard scribbles and roundabout conversations into actionable plans and beautiful presentations.
During our time together, we defined our process, tools, and developed training materials to help scale the team and business as it tripled in size in less than a year. In short, Dani knows what she wants, can explain why, and flawlessly executes. I highly recommend her as a valuable addition to any workplace."
Adam Davis, CREATIVE DIRECTOR | Comrade
"Danielle is a rare find--not just organized, but also creative and strategic. I've had the good fortune of working with her on a number of projects over the past year, and am impressed not just by her ideas, but her agility in turning them into something useful. When Comrade began to deepen our focus on digital health, Danielle swiftly produced three thought pieces to help us articulate our point of view. Beyond bringing her personal passion for fitness to this work, she demonstrated a genuine compassion for people. I'm glad to have someone so smart and dedicated as a colleague."
Amelia Ochodnicky, SR SALES ENGINEER | Thismoment
"It was a pleasure to work together with Danielle, who was an efficient Strategic Project Manager. She thinks on the cutting edge of social media, brand marketing and team leadership. Danielle led by example and improved processes and procedures to the benefit of everyone in our company.
I would recommend her if you need the very best in project management execution. Danielle had vision to see the benefits and the passion to turn her work at Thismoment that into measurable results for her customers."
Nic Rosenberg, front end developer | Thismoment
"Danielle is the best kind of project manager to work with as a developer. She is adept at reconciling client needs with development resources, providing air cover for her devs without sacrificing timelines or quality of work. She is a calming presence in the face of panicking clients and a friendly face for a stressed team. She is flexible and personable, detail oriented and level-headed."
Scott Petterson, art director | Eveo
"Danielle is an extremely talented, detail oriented and focused individual. She has the unique ability to manage complex projects and planning with ease and with an great attitude! Her ability to keep calm under the most stressful situations while maintaining a clear objective of the goals made her an extraordinary person to work with. I have no doubt she will make a great addition to any company and I would gladly work with her in the future."
Amy Jacobson, Director of Video Production | Eveo
"I love Danielle - smart, savvy, diligent and curious, she's a great person to work with and also a great friend. A winning combination! I worked with Danielle at Eveo where we both rose through the ranks in our areas of interest. By the time I made the move to leave she was reporting to Eveo's CEO and directly involved in critical strategy decisions for the company. Because she is a solid project manager first, Danielle was able to take her strategic thinking and build a structure and implementation plan to bring her ideas to fruition. It's rare to work with people who are the full package - so it was a complete delight to work with Danielle. I would offer the highest recommendation to anyone considering her for their team."
Laura Rajagopal, Associate project manager | Eveo
"Danielle was the kind of manager who knew how to balance being a leader along with the knowledge of the company and product. Her focus was always on the process of the project/end result without losing the importance of relationship building. Danielle brings a wealth of knowledge of the field she works in as well as an appreciation for employees. Although we didn't work directly together, I was encouraged to ask for mentorship and advice from her and she responded tenfold. As a mentor, Danielle taught me the kind of skills that continue to assist me as a Web Project Manager today. I would work with Danielle again in any company and highly recommend her for any position."
Mary Beth Gonzalez, VP Sales marketing | iVillage
"I managed Danielle for 2 years and during that time she directly contributed to the revenue growth of our sales team by producing custom minisites and promotions with 3rd party vendors. For these projects she led the execution, copy and design process, analyzed and presented various web traffic reports using Omniture Report, and made recommendations to increase campaign traffic. She also managed the scheduling, production process and delivery of multiple, concurrent campaigns while bringing them in on time and on budget.
I could always count on Danielle to identify areas of process improvement and pro-actively offer effective solutions. She is a dedicated employee with a rare combination of tech skills and creative sensibility"
Rich Wellen, sales director | iVillage
"I am pleased to write this recommendation for Danielle. Danielle worked in a support role in developing solutions for my clients. She was a pleasure to work with and you always knew that the end result would be well thought out and on the mark. Danielle took the time to understand the context of the work and the individual client's needs, asked intelligent insightful questions at the outset, and delivered her work as promised, on schedule and reflecting highly polished and professional results. She would typically also include recommendations for improvement that were above and beyond what I had asked for. She is articulate and thoughtful and a great presence in any client meeting. I am pleased to give her my highest recommendation."
Deborah Frutos-Smith, Director Alliance Development & Advocacy | GlaxoSmithKline
"Danielle is very detail oriented and does an excellent job at keeping track of tasks in order to get the overall project accomplished on time. In addition, she has a keen understanding of technology which seems to be almost instinctive. She quickly develops solid relationships with stakeholders at all levels and has a healthy curiosity for understanding the broader initiative beyond what she is directly involved in at the time."
Leslie Ochroch, Director strategic aliances | GlaxoSmithKline
"Danielle is an organized, detail oriented project manager who readily took on responsibilities and was able to improve processes, act autonomously and with minimal direction. She is a pleasure to work with, very directed and make things happen."
Lisa Dominici, Marketing director | WebMD
"Danielle was an integral part of an integrated team that produced a successful, corporate level multi-year initiative on WebMD. As the project manager on the client side, Danielle was diligent in keeping the project on track, meticulous in providing notes, direction and follow up tasks for all involved, and very creative in offering ideas, insight and solutions. She works comfortably with all levels of management. I highly recommend Danielle."
