Recommendations (LinkedIn):

“Fleur is a very capable communications professional. I recommend her highly and would hire her again without hesitation. Though her time with Exaktime was only six months (solely a result of the economic crisis), Fleur hit the ground running and came up to speed fast. She delivered a new customer on-boarding program, rolled out a series of press contacts in two new vertical markets and wrote numerous marketing pieces. Fleur understands how to communicate with sales prospects and existing customers, has great writing skills and she is happy to jump into any project you throw at her. She will be a terrific asset to her next team.”
