As CFO at my previous company, one of my goals was to help our company transition from an earlier stage technology company to a successful late stage development company. We needed to adapt our organization if we were going to be successful. Edith worked with our team to identify the changes in our organization that were necessary to support our business strategy.
I would not hesitate to work with Edith again and would refer her to other leaders faced with questions about how to ensure their organizations are positioned to meet the challenges of the future.
