“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Victoria at two different times in my career—once as a junior and, now more recently, as a GCD. While a lot has changed in that gap of time, Victoria has remained an inspiration and trusted colleague. She has passion for the work and compassion for her people—the perfect combination for the best leaders. She creates a collaborative and open environment that empowers everyone to come up with and sell their best work. And she just makes the job fun and enjoyable. I look forward to the day I can work with Victoria again.”
