Heather has been an amazing connection. She’s helped me find clarity in my messaging, building my brand and providing clear and concise feedback. She delivers the information that lets a person take action on the recommendations, her insights contain technical expertise with soft skills that often are elusive in information technology professionals.
The Geek Foundation (I am a board member) employed Heather as the Interim Executive Director at a critical and challenging time in the life of the organization. Heather was the consummate professional. Her breadth of knowledge and skill, steady and firm demeanor, and servant leadership heart provided all the tools we needed to explore all options for the organization and determine the proper future for it. Not many people could have successfully filled the role that she did. Heather is one of the top leaders and administrators in Southwest Missouri, and I'm in the habit of calling on her often for help in challenging situations.
Heather is that rare information technologist who combines demonstrable technical expertise with soft skills that often are elusive in information technology professionals. She is a talented designer of practices to store, retrieve, and interact with information. She has worked and managed projects at all levels of information technology, including being an executive of an information technology company. She is an accomplished communicator, both one-on-one and as member of expert panels. She understands how to translate "techno-speak" into "real people speak"...It's a real pleasure to be Heather's professional colleague.
Heather is a detail-oriented go-getter. She puts everything into the work she does and is one of the most intelligent people I know. She asks the right questions at the right time and uses all of her resources to get the job done.
