Nicole Knox is a creative, forward-thinking, ambitious professional. While reporting to me at the Walt Disney Company, Nicole always challenged the status quo, got others to believe in her ideas and executed initiatives flawlessly. Her kind, good-spirited way, enables Nicole to develop lasting relationships with peers, clients, friends and family. I’d jump at the chance to have Nicole work within my organization again in the future.

Nicole’s expertise and use of advanced tools and methodology helped us move through an interactive process in just weeks. She was able to quickly grasp and help us to expand on our business process, offering, scope and markets. I couldn’t be happier with the results of Nicole’s efforts and the positive impact she has had on our ability to succeed in the marketplace.
