Katie is one of the best consultants I've ever worked with. She helped manage the global consolidation of processes across multiple countries into two shared service centers for the largest and fastest merger integration effort ever performed by Google. Her intellect, drive, teamwork and problem-solving skills proved to be an invaluable asset to both me and my team during the integration. She was always thinking ahead, anticipating my needs and delivering valuable insights and solutions, which was critical given the accelerated timeline we faced. I would recommend her to any executive in need of a strong management consultant.
Katie developed an R&D lab management model for engineering teams that increased the adoption of Microsoft's internal cloud computing solution and resulted in $10M+ in annual savings across procurement, asset management, and lab operations. Katie has a positive, results-oriented, can-do attitude, to go along with business intelligence. She tackles tough problems and can lead projects in a systematic, organized manner, all while setting a fast pace. She holds herself accountable for high-quality results and is capable of excelling in individual or team-based roles. I really enjoyed working with Katie and would recommend her to other executives.
Katie helped me and my team at GE identify cost savings opportunities, improve our financial analytics and redesign processes to drive efficiencies within our business unit. She is sharp, analytical and one of the most honest and genuine people you'll ever meet. Her positive attitude, energy, and dedication to delivering results make her a joy to work with on any project. I've established a strong personal and professional relationship with her and look forward to working with her again in the future. If you are in need of a smart and capable consultant, hire Katie.
While at Home Depot, Amanda developed a model utilizing sales, economic, demographic and competitor data that was used to select strategic focus markets. Amanda partnered with Field Merchants and Regional Vice Presidents to develop strategies addressing merchandising, store operations and marketing to combat competition and drive incremental transactions in these markets. Amanda is a data-driven strategic thinker who is results-oriented. She is a passionate marketer and enjoyed fostering relationships across functions. I would recommend her to any organization looking for a strategic consultant.
Amanda and Katie performed both market and customer research and analytics to develop brand, marketing and launch strategies that were used to open new UrgentVet locations. Their work was thorough and strategic, with the insights later being independently validated by both McKinsey and LEK. I’d highly recommend the Avant team for any strategic engagement. Their quality of work is in line with the best consulting firms in the industry.
Katie is amazing and a jack of all trades. She was originally brought in to help establish structure and drive execution for an innovative digital product we were working on, but she ended up delivering so much more. She quickly nailed the basics and moved on to advising on strategy and owning a portion of product development and testing. After she left, the product development work she completed was expanded, and ultimately led to the development of a different digital product that recently launched. I can't wait to work with her again! She delivered so much value to me and my team!
Amanda overhauled the marketing organization by putting into place processes and measurements to ensure marketing initiatives were executed strategically, on time, and in a cost effective way while delivering positive ROI for Mannington Mills. She oversaw the entire process of developing and implementing a B2B strategic marketing plan for our premium and budget product categories in our U.S. and Canadian markets. She also acted as the lead on a project involving the expansion of our business into Brazil – inclusive of researching and facilitating the steps needed to open an office and set up business operations in Sao Paulo. Amanda understands the big picture, is a strategic thinker and is results-oriented. You can count on her to deliver.
