[Sherrie's] multitude of professional skills and innate ability to enable growth and development absolutely kick-started my own career and that of many others. She created a culture of high performance, trust, and fully engaged team members - absolutely the strongest and most productive team I've ever worked with.

Sherrie is a good strategic thinker, evaluating the landscape of the organization and creating a vision for how to move the organization forward through effective learning and communication programs. As her direct report I appreciated that she was there to answer questions and provide insights while trusting her team to do their job and execute on their projects.

Sherrie transformed knowledge sharing at Epic-Premier, taking it from an informal, sporadic, as available environment to a formal, planned, structured training program. She designed and implemented a 5 day onboarding program, including hands-on experiences, guided self-study, and daily check-ins to supplement the one-on-one, just in time training provided by supervisors. . . . Having used in-house training programs at multiple Fortune 500 companies, I can tell you that Sherrie’s skill set and deliverable are top notch.

[Sherrie found] creative solutions to the challenges of connecting with our associates and ensuring a consistent way to train and communicate with a geographically dispersed workforce growing at a rate of 700% YOY. Most impressive was the team she created. She hired a unique, dedicated and creative group of individuals and shaped them into an effective, high-performing team. She led them with rigor, warmth and focus and playing to each of their strengths.

As a learning and development professional, I was continually amazed at Sherrie's ability to constantly find innovative ways to develop, engage, and lead our team in an environment of high growth and rapid change. Sherrie leads to transform, not dominate. It’s truly one of the things I enjoyed most about being one of her direct reports. She is a visionary who was always driven and inspired by what her company and team could become. The way she laid out a vision for the future with perseverance and enthusiasm really had a way keeping everybody engaged and invested in the process.
