“I worked with Jillian as we were just forming the Sony Digital Entertainment Group. At that time business development was essential. She assisted in developing plans for Movielink, Sonypictures.com, etc. Without her skill and dedication, we would not have been successful. I highly recommend her.”

former Divisional CIO

“It was a pleasure having Jillian Alexander
work with me
on the strategic planning of my businesses
renegotiation
of sales prices with our largest customer Hosti; establishment of distribution
to the United Kingdom through Cell Ltd; and managing our growth including
financing the acquisition of another paperboard mill and the organization
structure of the merged companies.”
“[Ms. Alexander] developed a macro to
expedite financial reporting to the Treuhand.”
“[Ms. Alexander] demonstrated
how computers could facilitate the production planning process.”
“Ms. Alexander’s astute questions exemplified her curiousity and that she
is a quick study.
Additionally, her personable manner and cultural
adaptability helped in making friends both at the mill and in [town].
Ms. Alexander’s intellect, confidence, dedication, and communication
skills are very valuable assets for any firm.”

“I look forward to working with you again. I think you’re good
at what you do, professional, and honest and you can’t ask for any more.
I will stay in touch.”
Founding CEO

“Jillian is a great confidante, both strategically and personally. I can talk to Jillian about anything. No matter the topic, she leads me in a direction to think through the solution, unbiased to the outcome.
“Jillian has been a very good about helping me pinpoint which groups to target and how to find them. Thanks to Jillian, I secured the largest new client relationship within the entire southern California region during my first year working at a multinational bank. It put me on the map as a business banker and in the realm of where I wanted to get to.
“Jillian is all about performance. I am confident that she can increase performance of any company in some manner no matter how well or poorly it is performing today whether it be financials, what to do, who to go to, how to finance it, how to market it. I have seen the results of Jillian’s efforts; walking into a manufacturing company a few months after referring her and seeing operations running more smoothly, productively, and with both revenue and profitability increasing.
“Jillian is a sharp cookie and sticks up for what she believes in. I look up to her as a mentor in life, not only business. Jillian uses a ‘This is where you are
this is where you want to get to
let’s create an achievable plan to get you there’ approach. She helps me to be strategic, keep focused on what needs to be done and gets me to stick to the basics.

“In response to an RFP, Jillian performed
industry market research and analysis to identify Financial Institution’s
current situation with regard to product development and strategic alliance
opportunities.
“She researched Financial industry trends and drivers, including
the economics, loan category and investment attractiveness, customers,
and competitor product offerings. To do so, Jillian proactively networked
... to identify industry nuances and technology impacts. Jillian applied
broad perspective on interaction and impact of different components
of strategic change in synthesizing findings, contributed to the business
case and Orals preparation by generating structured interim work products,
and developed slides for the current situation section of the proposal
deck.
“This was especially challenging and complex project as the industry
is highly dynamic. For example, during the three weeks between the initial
written response to the RFP and setting a meeting for Orals several
key competitors announced mergers and strategic alliances which significantly
impact the competitive environment and specifically [the prospective
client]. As a result, Jillian enthusiastically revised the market analysis
to reflect these changes and proactively brought it to team members
attention.
“Jillian managed workloads to ensure successful and on-time completion,
including enthusiastically coordinating with team members and our internal
Graphics staff to generate the final proposal document for the oral
presentation.”
Project Owner

“I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to talk with me last night.
“When I went to you for advice, I hadn’t expected much more than a name
or two of people with ‘so-and-so used this person before, and she
seemed all right’. Instead, you not only had a list of people, but
you worked to find out what would be best for me and to provide your
own advice.
“I couldn’t have imagined a better situation and am very grateful that
you're putting in this effort for me.
“Thank you again, Jillian. You’re a complete godsend.”

“Just watched the finale of the first Apprentice here, a very entertaining show. I definitely thought you should've competed on it.”

“Jillian successfully supervised all personnel
in pursuit of project goals.”
“She was responsible for locating forecasting information for specific
industries that use Carbon Fiber materials, assessing the raw data and
developing graphs to convey insights. This task was particularly challenging
in light of the immaturity of the market. In this effort, Jillian successfully
located and leveraged resources (internal and external) to locate the
necessary information in the timeframe needed.”
“Overall, Jillian’s performance was exemplary. I will look forward
to the opportunity of working with her again.”

“Thank you for putting in so much effort and research, Jillian.”
