Annabel LiuVP of Engineering • Curated / Linkedin
Both during the workshop itself and before/after, Alana was 100% dedicated to making the entire team primed for success. Her invaluable feedback, genuine approach, and fierce drive to share her wisdom has made every single employee at our company much-better off across the board.
Jonathan WarrickDirector Of Data Solutions • dv01
Recruiting is perhaps the most difficult, yet important, challenge facing any new company. I underestimated it as a first time founder. We had struggled until our workshop weekend with Alana. If you're serious about doing it right, then Alana is the perfect person.
Perry RahbarCEO/Founder • dv01
We hired Alana to come in and work on our most demanding team. She partnered with us to changed the culture/mentality of senior leaders that needed a lot of hand holding and tough love to get them on a good path. I highly endorse her!
M.M.
I had the fortune to work with Alana at GoPro, in Hyper ramp mode. We hired 30+ people in less than a year, which would not have been possible without the daily dedication to Alignment, Quality and Results that Alana brought to our Partnership. She is a Star.
