“Writing this letter of recommendation is bittersweet. On the one hand, I’m happy for Sam to go somewhere better suited for her but on the other hand I’m going to miss her, both personally and professionally. Ever since starting her position here Sam has been a pleasure to work with.

She immediately had a positive impact on mine and other departments. Whenever Sam identifies a problem or something that can be improved, she’ll involve the necessary people to come up with a better way of doing things. The main workbook used to track our biggest customer’s priorities was a project spearheaded by Sam. Her obsession with organization has led to her team installing software to keep track of their mountain of tasks. Whenever I ask her something and see her deftly navigate all the apps on her computer to find the answer, I can’t help but be impressed.

I must also mention her communication, not just skills but also tone. I have been copied on emails that would make a lesser person reply in anger, but Sam always replies politely and looking for solutions instead of scapegoats. When an international customer needed our help to sort out their shipping issues Sam stayed late for weekly meetings until the issue was resolved and they’ve been very grateful.

I can honestly say you would be very lucky to have Sam on your team. In my time here the people previously in her position have ranged from mediocre to above average, but none have excelled like her. Like I said earlier, I’m happy for her to move on but I know finding a replacement that can meet the high bar she’s set will be very difficult. Don’t pass her up, people like Sam are rare.”

“I'm happy to recommend Samantha. We worked together when she was a Project Manager at Apex. I was always impressed by how well she handled complex, high pressure situations.

Samantha has a talent for building trust and pulling different teams together to achieve a common objective. She's great at navigating competing priorities and getting everyone aligned toward the same objective. On top of that, she has an eye for process improvement - she's great at digging into existing workflows, spotting inefficiencies and finding ways to make things run more smoothly.

She quickly got up to speed in a challenging role managing a high maintenance customer. She provided excellent support, presented clearly and concisely and represented the company exceptionally well. Her communication skills and organized approach made a big difference in keeping things on track, both internally and externally.

She's hard working, smart and knows how to get things done. I'd gladly work with her again, and I'd recommend her to any team that needs a strong, thoughtful leader to bring structure and progress to complex work.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.”

"Samantha worked as a project/account manager while I was her customer (supply chain manager). She came to meetings organized and prepared with the information I needed to keep my stakeholders updated. She responded to emails quickly and concisely and ensured that all of my requests were met in a timely manner. Samantha also managed a specific challenging product line with a constrained sub-supplier and worked very closely with me to ensure my customer's needs were met."

"It was a pleasure working with Sam. I worked as a supplier business manager representing her customer. We worked together managing the supply chain challenges unique to the semiconductor industry, i.e. high churn, short lead times, and high stress. Sam was invariably quick to respond to any of our supply challenges with creative and well-considered options and was always working to get to yes.

Sam was always organized and adaptable to our ever-changing requirements. I would recommend Sam for any role: leadership, customer facing, account, or project management. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again."
