Tracy was a great resource to have on our team! She was energetic, dedicated and always yielded great results.

Tracy Sestili, CEO and Founder of Social Strand Media, helped me get started with blogging and tweeting. I didn’t know what I was doing and she made it easy, built a strategy for using the media for the purpose I wanted, and did some of the hands on work when it was just too much for me. She told me I had to believe, like Field of Dreams, and over time they would come. She was right! She created guidelines for the frequency of blogs and tweets and then showed me tools to make it easy. She has easy training sessions with slides so I can remind myself and refresh. I continue to use her because she is so personable and she continues to bring new value as I grow and need more ‘advanced’ understanding. I highly recommend her.

Tracy is an expert on the social media field, being on the cutting edge of the latest trends. She quickly understands a company and their needs.

Tracy is great. She knows what she is doing, on a deep level, has great ideas and executes. I have personally recommended to her to others because of this AND because she stays on top of trends, knows what is changing and can evaluate what is right for the individual. She is really really terrific.

Besides her background and knowledge she has a great sense of humor and is fun to be around. : )

Tracy was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of social media and made great strides with After-School All-Stars' campaigns in a short period of time. She was always quick to offer advice, guidance and recommendations on how to better our presence online. Great care and patience was taken to explain new tools and techniques. Tracy was always timely and responsive to emails and requests. I would definitely recommend her and work with her again in the future.

Tracy is a fantastic social media consultant who really tailors her advice to her audience (and provides fantastic empirical evidence to support her advice and proposed course of action). I've worked with Tracy in my capacity as the Global Head of Litigation for Fish & Richardson and believed the advice she gave our lawyers world wide on how to use social media effectively was invaluable and creative. I plan to hire her more to do 1:1 consulting (and to help me as well!). She also gives back by using her skills to help others and non-profit organizations. Hire her (but don't take all her time as I plan to work with her as much as I can!!)

Tracy and I worked together on a number of management issues and programs. Whether tackling a project or a sensitive employee matter, Tracy's professionalism and directness was refreshing. She focused on ensuring deliberate yet quick positive outcomes for everyone involved. I would welcome the opportunity to work for her again in the future.

Tracy is a bottom line employee. She listens carefully to what is requested, does the background work to determine the feasibility, trade-offs, liabilities and benefits, then effectively manages communications and expectations to ensure the final product is optimal for all stake-holders. She is not afraid to push back when necessary, she learns quickly and she understands the critical nature of useful deliverables and time-lines very well. There was always a sense that things would be properly handled and would be completed on time when Tracy was running projects.

I know Tracy through her work with the Beverly Fund, the nonprofit organization Tracy founded in memory of her mother. As CEO, Tracy oversees several initiatives, including Kites for Cancer Awareness, Remember November, Request the Test and others. Tracy’s work through the Beverly Fund—quite literally—saves lives. Tracy is a conscientious, energetic, diplomatic and well-organized professional. She is an inspirational leader who collaborates with dozens of other nonprofit organizations that have complementary mission statements. Tracy is an amazing person who has much to contribute to any organization. She also is simply fun to be around.

Tracy has an amazing ability to get things accomplished and build a superstar team. Her strategic vision is clear and concise which motivates those around her to accomplish more than most with very short timelines and limited resources. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate & enjoy working in Tracy's organization.

I worked with Tracy for 3.5 years at TiVo. Over that time she managed a highly motivated and effective team that was crucial to the success of almost all of the projects on which I work here at TiVo. Tracy is a true leader - she knows how to get things done while acknowledging the needs of others around her. She exhibits a spirit of fun and humor while being very efficient at cutting through the myriad of obstacles that can get in the way of success. She created a team that really enjoys its work and is extremely effective. Overall, Tracy was very valuable to the success of many of our major corporate initiatives and a pleasure to work with.
