"When Christie joined Edelman as the head of our Integrated Brand team, she immediately set a new tone for the group - one that was inclusive and empathetic - and prioritized people over the work. By investing in every team member from junior staff to the leadership team, she has made people feel heard and celebrated. This has resulted not only in a more inspired team but better work and more revenue. As my day-to-day manager, she has coached me to be the best version of myself as a woman executive, team leader & client strategist. She makes me feel appreciated and valued every single day and helps me plan for both the short-term and long-term. On top of all this, Christie is a wicked smart marketer and gains the trust of her c-suite clients by presenting her POV with a confident yet approachable tone that makes clients feel at ease. She is a truly impressive leader and strategist- someone that I feel fortunate to work with and learn from."
