Client Gary Olsson, Lincoln Motor Company

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to enthusiastically recommend Valerie Lavoie for any position requiring exceptional client service skills, strategic thinking, and program management expertise. I had the pleasure of working with Valerie for four years while she was employed at Ansira, serving as our primary contact for the Lincoln Brand Exclusive Advertising Program.

Valerie’s ability to build and maintain strong client relationships is truly remarkable. She quickly established herself as a trusted advisor, consistently demonstrating a deep understanding of our business needs and the automotive industry landscape. I found that Valerie has an innate ability to anticipate client needs and provide solutions before problems arise.

Her fiscal responsibility and budget management skills were also invaluable. She demonstrated a keen sensitivity to our financial environment, often finding innovative ways to maximize resources. Her strategic approach to budget management allowed us to achieve more with less, without compromising on quality.

What truly set Valerie apart was her exceptional team management skills. She didn't just manage a team; she created a collaborative partnership. The level of integration, communication, and shared commitment she fostered was remarkable, ensuring that every project deliverable met our specifications and strategic vision.

She also led all our multi-year agreement renewals. This complex process required extensive collaboration, teamwork, and adherence to strict deadlines. Her ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining a focus on our business objectives was truly commendable.

I can confidently recommend Valerie for any role that requires a strategic thinker, a client-focused professional, and a results-driven individual. Any organization would be fortunate to have her as part of their team.

Sincerely,


Gary R. Olsson
