Marie Ann doesn't just have deep knowledge, she has a remarkable ability to rapidly acquire and use knowledge. I worked directly with her for years and she was constantly able to deliver thoughtful advice and help me and the organization avoid potential pitfalls. An amazingly organized team player. One of my favorite things about Marie Ann is her ability to move quick from helping to poke holes in an idea to effectively executing once the path has been chosen. So many amazing things were done under her guidance at Complexly.

Marie Ann is the first supervisor I've ever had who was really invested in my success as an employee and as a person. I always felt like she trusted me and my skills. She always had faith in my ability to do hard things, learn new things, and was there to help when there were too many things. She has a great sense of humor and strikes the perfect balance of friendly and authoritative. I always had absolute confidence in Marie Ann as a leader. She clearly has a masterful ability to jump into any task, quickly learn everything she needs to know (and then some) and not only be able to execute the task, but teach others how to do it too. Given the chance to work with Marie Ann again, I would do so in a heartbeat!
