Adrienne helped us first define a competitive business strategy and saw us through to an effective product launch. Her insights helped us think through complex product planning, and her operational skill helped us execute a successful marketing program. We gained significant marketplace visibility and key business alliances. In addition, Adrienne helped us gain leadership and operational leverage to execute our plans. I grew as a CEO and my senior management team became more cohesive.
