She provided great value through her timely insights into the challenges IT organizations now face. Bravo!” – Rebecca Rhoads, Chief Information Officer, Raytheon Company
“We engaged Abbie to facilitate two executive panels at our PegaWORLD 2008 global user conference. The sessions were outstanding. In both, the executives were well prepared and the logistics were flawless. Abbie did a great job of framing the most important issues and leading the discussion in a way that was both salient and dynamic. Our audience was fully engaged and the panels received 5 star ratings in our post panel survey. People who have done this before know that pulling off an engaging professional executive panel requires a real art in both the preparation and the execution. If you want it done well, I strongly recommend Abbie for the job.” – Max Mayer, Sr. Vice President, Pegasystems
