"I had the opportunity to work with Carol from 2007 to 2009 and was endlessly impressed by her dedication, business understanding, and savoir faire. Carol brought to the table a rare and valuable combination of professionalism and forthrightness. She was a breath of fresh air and my visits to WIKUS were always a pleasure thanks to her honesty, her broad and incisive understanding across a wide area of business management, and her willingness to work hard. Wherever her career takes her, I hope it's somewhere I can work with her again."
