Michelle had a breadth and depth of knowledge that gave me a sense of confidence and excitement. She answered all of my questions and brought up things that I hadn't thought of. She has a number of valuable contacts and was incredibly helpful. Speaking with her was a minor investment that will pay huge dividends.

Source: LinkedIn private private Apr 17, 2015Michelle was a pleasure to work with at WHBM. She was timely in her responses and answers to issues at hand.
She also was very organized in her information and lead with leadership and passion.
I was part of the leadership team that recruited Michelle to Guardian Industries to, in essence, take over many of my Project Management duties as I transitioned into a new role.
Michelle was the most-unique PM candidate I had ever interviewed considering she came from an industry and background that was very different to what we typically recruited from into Guardian. However, with the first phone call, Michelle impressed me with her understanding of core business, product development and launch, and project management theory. On top of that, he professional and confident demeanor made an immediate impression to me and everyone she talked to during the interview process. In the end, Michelle was clearly the best candidate for the job and I knew that she would get up to speed quickly once she got the Guardian - and I was right.
I mentored Michelle directly for her first month at Guardian and she soon became very independent and self-motivating with her projects - needing my direct help less and less. Within 6 weeks she was flying solo on global projects in an industry she had no background in. How? Michelle just has a knack for talking to people in an open way, asking smart questions that matter, developing a realistic plan, communicating it effectively to the team, and driving that team to make it happen. Within 3 months she had more and more high-profile project put under her ownership - a testament to the immediate and significant impact she made to the organization.
In sum, Michelle Roberts is a natural and leading people and teams in strategic planning, new product development, and taking it to the market successfully. She's creative, disciplined, and great with people and has an uncanny ability to ask the right question at the right time - a huge skill in today's business world.
Michelle has my highest recommendations.
