“Working with Gail was one of the greatest gifts I was afforded in my time at Publicis. Every day I passed her in the hall, my day got better just from witnessing her smile. Her in-depth understanding of her clients’ business and dedication is unmatched, always delivering exceptional service. Time and time again, her team was responsible for some of the best work the agency ever produced, often surpassing client benchmarks. Whenever the leader of a large account is recruited to work on new business pitches, I genuinely worry about their ability to commit the time necessary for a successful pitch. Gail flawlessly balanced her client and pitch work not only to par, but above a beyond expectations. She was so successful in this endeavor, her P&G client rated us as one of their top partners for many consecutive years, and we won the sizable Merck account we were pitching at the time. In a pitch room, Gail was an expert. Her demeanor conveyed her vast experience and reassured prospective clients that they were in the best hands at our agency. No matter what curveball was thrown her way, she remained cool under pressure and the epitome of professionalism. I have learned a great deal from working with Gail. Not only was she a great coworker and collaborator but also a great mentor. Her leadership and flexibility made her an asset to every team she was a part of. She treated everyone, no matter their level, with the same level of respect and consideration that someone of her prestigious position handedly deserved. She always brought her “A game” and often challenged others, bringing out their best. I’m not aware of Gail ever having a bad day because she was always the happiest person in the office, even if a client might have been driving her up the wall. I miss her smile every day, and if I ever had the opportunity to work with Gail again in the future, I would jump on the opportunity in a heartbeat! ”
