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!
