“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.

“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.”

“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.”
