"Kristen is the most talented development professional I’ve ever worked with. She’s a rare combination of creative visionary and analytical thinker - someone who can dream big while staying grounded in data and strategy.

“Kristen and I have collaborated on various projects over the past ten years. Our last collaboration was this summer [during early COVID] when Kristen was charged with transforming a live event experience to a virtual one in just a few weeks. Kristen's creativity, flexibility and capacity to lead a team through complex projects has made her a go-to partner and a pivotal asset to the organizations she serves.”
