Program Activation Testimonial
“Code Fellows is an immersive software development training program designed to solve the tech talent gap, while also providing a diversity talent pool for the tech industry. Before Elizabeth joined the organization, we had no well-structured approach for our graduates seeking to be connected to hiring partners, or for hiring partners to connect with our graduates. We needed a thoughtful, robust and well structured program to facilitate making these connections. In her work helping us build our Career Accelerator Program, Elizabeth brought unrelenting optimism, strong relationship skills, autonomy, awesome event production skills, speaker/presentation skills, fun, and enormous care for our students and graduates. Elizabeth is a joy to work with! She brings great value and positive insight to everything and every person she engages with.”
Jeff Malek, EdTech Innovator & Leader
Brand Activation Testimonial
“Refound is a leadership development and coaching company that uses human-centered design to create customized culture transformation programs for high growth tech companies. Elizabeth supported us at a time when we were trying to expand our reach and was a wonderful asset in activating our brand. She quickly oriented herself to our core vision and point of view, and used that to connect us with mission-aligned and forward-thinking vendors to build products that could support scalability of our framework, including assessments, instructional design, and asynchronous learning experiences. She helped us expand our footprint within the Seattle tech scene, serving as a speaker on behalf of Refound at key events, and introducing us to leaders in the ecosystem who were most well positioned to leverage our offerings. In the end we landed a brand name client in that market because of her broad network and social capital, and are grateful for the way she helped us further our brand reach and positioning.”
Sarah King, Leadership Development & Coaching Consultant
Organizational Activation Testimonial
“Elizabeth joined our team at a critical moment where we were validating product-market fit with suppliers and moving towards scaling our partner community. She has played a crucial role in organizational activation, advancing the Postcard project with her positive energy, integrity, and open-minded approach to problem-solving. As a strategic thought partner, she has been instrumental in guiding us through unexpected challenges during which we made some key pivots to the product and business model. Elizabeth's readiness to tackle obstacles with a 'whatever it takes' attitude, significantly contributed to the growth of our partner community to 150+ properties, encompassing hotels and eco-lodges across multiple countries committed to responsible tourism. Additionally, her empathetic leadership style and HR background has been instrumental in shaping our team culture, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment focused on impact and results. We are honored to have her as part of our team at the Postcard Travel Club and grateful for her contributions as we establish a solid foundation for our team and business.”
Amit Jaipuria, Serial Entrepreneur & Founder of Postcard Travel Club
Circle Activation Testamonial
“I am a UX writer/content strategist who is passionate about diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. I participated in a Circle Activation Group based upon a desire to connect with women who had a shared set of values related to impact and community. Elizabeth’s ability to curate the group members, so that there was a shared commitment to the experience, as well as curiosity about the topics discussed, was one the strengths of the experience. Additionally, she involved group members in co-creating sessions that provided a platform for experimentation and self-expression but also generated insight and inspiration for the members of the group. It was a great opportunity to grow my network, feel supported by a group of high capacity women, and learn about relevant topics such as finance, goal setting, and self-awareness.
