She not only helped me find the courage to accept the challenge but also provided invaluable guidance that allowed me to navigate this unfamiliar terrain with confidence.

Jessica’s program leadership was instrumental in our ability to fully build best-in-class data center infrastructures, from the ground up. She is very passionate and driven about meeting goals and requirements set by management. With great efficiency in implementing project plans, Jessica puts a completely new emphasis on “organizational skills”. It is always comforting to work alongside Jessica, as she is someone you can rely on in high-pressure situations.

Chris Ellus, Sr.Manager, Advanced Services at Juniper Networks

Jessica is the embodiment of true leadership. She understands that true leadership is nothing more than influence and that it's creating an environment so others willingly follow. She achieved that in part due to her goal of making those around her successful, from her manager to her direct reports to all her peers.

I was very successful when Jessica was my manager at RHI because she took the time to understand what it would take for me to be successful. She did the same throughout the whole organization. Then with this knowledge, she worked to bridge the gaps and smoothed out all the bumps, thus allowing the organization as a whole to work successfully together with great synergy.
