Admirations By Client
Dropbox Inc.
“On behalf of the Legal Team and Staff, I want to share my gratitude for all your hard work on the cookie banner and cookie management platform. Your commitment, collaborative approach, and focus were key in making these important projects a reality.
I realize that you and your teams had to juggle a lot to keep things moving (including your own roadmaps). I especially want to acknowledge the role that you played in coordinating a large cross-team effort while keeping everyone in the loop and bought in. Without your contributions, we wouldn’t have been able to meet several aggressive timelines and remain worthy of trust. Thanks so much for your support!”
