Deanne is a very strong project manager who has delivered excellent results in challenging circumstances. Her attention to detail and organisational ability are complemented by an ability to relate and manage at all levels within both customer and internal organisations. She was recommended to me by a colleague and I would not hesitate to provide similar recommendation.

She is a good team leader, mentor and motivator and is excellent in time management and task prioritization. Whether it is managing and controlling change or devising risk management strategies, she can perform them all with an effortless ease. She is an asset when it comes to on time, on budget delivery of a project with good quality.Animesh Sinah - Lead Consultant, Sterling Commerce, UK
Deanne arrived to help us with a project crisis, as we ran into difficulties which led to a third party intervention need. I watched Deanne with astonishment as she led the project through the requirements and design stage, with persistence she led a large group of users and managers filled with objections. Her professionalism and expertise provided with spirit and the will to understand and solve conflicts brought unity and collaboration. Deanne is a real Pro and I'm looking forward to working with her again.
Hagit Arama - Project Manager, NESS Technologies, Tel Aviv, Israel
I have worked with Deanne on two large IT projects for separate clients during the past year. Having eighteen years experience as a consultant myself, both as a developer and project manager, I have watched and admired her abilities from both perspectives. Deanne is wonderful to work for. As a project manager, she has that cool and collected demeanor that keeps the developers functioning as a team during the inevitable stressful moments that most IT projects encounter. Because she is very proactive about resolving issues before they become issues, everyone on the team is aware of their responsibilities and surprises are kept to a minimum. She is NOT a project manager that disappears after the project plan is delivered.
Deanne is even more impressive as a manager. Both projects have involved multi-national teams and clients. Language barriers, time zone differences, international travel, and key client employees who seem determined to fail were only minor obstacles for her. There were vacation schedules, international holidays, and personnel turnover that she had to deal with; yet both projects were successfully delivered on time and under budget.
I will always welcome the opportunity to work with Deanne. I know I can depend on it being a well managed project.

Deanne is a great project manager. She is able to quickly identify critical tasks and details while keeping an eye on the big picture. She can handle difficult clients while maintaining a good working relationship with other team members. I've worked with many project managers in my day and Deanne is on my short list of ones I'd like to work with again. I'd definitely recommend Deanne to anyone who needs a quality project manager.

Deanne has the unique ability to determine the strengths and weaknesses of any corporation or organization large or small - effect changes, set goals and targets with flawless precision and planning, to bypass staid operations and mired organizational procedures, to turn it into a very profitable enterprise within an extremely short period of time. A key strength of hers lies in assessing the abilities of people and using them to the greatest advantage to the organization. Any institution availing itself of her services, would be assuredly guaranteeing their own success.Constantine Emmanuel - Logistics Manager, Hagensborg Foods Ltd, Vancouver, BC, Canada
My first impression of Deanne when she was introduced to me by our CEO was of a warm and engaging smile. Her sparkling eyes let me see through to someone that I could trust and talk with, that would listen to me and make a significant difference to my working environment. I've seen her acknowledge everyone, open doors and encourage communication, ownership and teamwork.

What amazes me most about Deanne is her gift for walking into chaos and creating order. She can go into a broken business or life, quickly assess strengths, create the procedure manual for success and train people to keep the success going and growing. She has a unique ability to sift through the mud and dirt and find the gold nuggets.
