“I had the pleasure of working with Angela at Maria Tash for close to two years on eCommerce, web design, social media, and SEO projects. I always admired and was particularly impressed by the way that Angela combined her profound knowledge of the platforms she worked with, her insight into analytics, and her nimble creativity for problem-solving to draw innovative connections and propose solutions that were novel and potent. Her decisions during the COVID-19 panic of 2020 led to the significant growth of eCommerce sales. It was Angela's brilliant connection of data, deep holistic understanding of the entire business, and championing of creative solutions that led us through. I worked closely with Angela on improving our SEO performance, implementing a new DAM, and other related projects, and her excellent leadership and willingness to explain issues, solutions, and present challenging problems led to her training me to reach new performance goals I hadn't anticipated. Angela was always willing to listen to and understand questions and concerns, which was strongly motivating and inspiring for those working closely with her. Angela's inquisitive attitude and fascinating interests (such as the interactions of art and emerging technology) make her a thrilling member of an office team with a lot of fascinating things to bring to both recreational and professional conversations, which goes a long way to mentally stimulate a team. As a leader and a visionary strategist, Angela took us courageously to eCommerce breakthroughs despite COVID-19. As her direct report, I feel like I learned a tremendous amount from her and have grown as an employee thanks to her leadership. Angela has my highest recommendation!”
