  “I had the pleasure of working with Beth, and it's been a blast. A few things really stood out out to me: 1. Shortly after joining, she initiated, led, and concluded a detailed Jobs To Be Done Research. The impact was huge. First and foremost, this effort provided an excellent opportunity for designers, product managers, and UX researchers to gain firsthand experience with this type of research. Second, the data enabled us as an organization to take a significant step toward strategy clarity. 2. Her ability to establish solid relationships with her stakeholders, peers, and team members is exceptional. She is an incredibly empathetic, intelligent, and skilled person to work with. I can only recommend working with Beth. ”

  “I’ve hired Beth to be part of my leadership team twice—at Elastic and XING. Given the chance, I’d do it again! Beth has unique know-how for managing change and complexity which sets her apart from other UX leaders. She draws upon a rich toolkit for facilitating and delivering strategic design outcomes (e.g. journey maps, JTBD, service blueprints, stakeholder alignment, applied user research, and more). She has an impeccable ability to creatively adapt to the needs of a project or the dynamics of an organization. Beth is perpetually optimistic and hardworking. She nurtures and inspires the best in her team members with an avid player-coach style. At XING, Beth led a large strategic initiative to identify and elaborate key user profiles, their current pains and needs in relationship to an emergent product strategy. With this, she introduced new ways of working to the organization, engaging the executive team and the CEO alike in workshops and decision-making. At Elastic, Beth played a participatory role in collaboration with the Observability leadership team on FY planning and strategy definition. She brought critical analysis and definition to her team’s resource allocation and roadmap plans. Her team’s morale, engagement and effectiveness were markedly improved in a record short time. This was owed to her strong emotional intelligence, techniques to structure meaningful conversations, focus on career coaching, development of fun and productive team rituals, and emphasis on shared purpose. ”

  “I am thrilled to share my personal endorsement for Beth, whom I had the pleasure of working with at New Work SE. Let me start by saying that Beth is hands down the best manager, and coach I have ever had. These days, I'm happy to have her as a friend and mentor at my side. As a true leader, Beth has a unique ability to not only guide her team, but also inspire them to achieve great results and grow personally and professionally. Beth was always approachable and eager to listen and support those around her. Her dedication to seeing and building upon the strength of the individual and empowering me and my colleagues to build upon these, makes her an exceptional leader. Beth played an instrumental role in my professional growth, helping me transition from a senior designer to a leader. Her guidance, constructive feedback, and support helped me build the necessary skills to take on bigger challenges and responsibilities. I must say that Beth is my role model of a boss. Her ability to motivate and lead by example is something that I aspire to replicate in my own leadership role. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and learn from her. In conclusion, any company would be incredibly fortunate to have Beth as a leader. I highly recommend her to any organization seeking a dedicated, inspiring, and skilled leader.”

  “Beth and I worked together both directly and indirectly at Deloitte Digital. A few qualities strongly stood out to me: She is innovative in her problem-solving, and will find a way to tackle even a tedious task such as annotations with functional, practical ingenuity that benefits those she collaborates with. She is an ego-less integrator, who will treat those with less experience or more as equals who she can help support, educate, collaborate with, and learn from. She is naturally empathetic and listens. While other people want to listen, she actually does, and within the user experience industry these gifts are essential. While she feels comfortable to express herself, she also allows her teammates to vocalize their points of view, which in turn, supports true collaboration.”

  “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Beth for many years now, finally having the opportunity to work together at Netflix. Above all, I’ve been impressed by her uncanny ability to tame complexity and build relationships across teams. And of course her dedication, humility and great work ethic. I’ve seen her tackle horrifying projects with zeal and create some sense of digestible order out of chaos. She’s also a genuinely empathetic human being and team member. She’s easy to work with, and helps build bridges for those around her. She’d be an invaluable asset for any team facing Enterprise-style challenges, and I’m happy to recommend her!”
