“I had the pleasure of being on Kristen’s team for about three and a half years here at LinkedIn. Those years involved a complete pivot for our tight-knit team, where we had to quickly learn how to remotely support our Executive partners during the pandemic. Kristen handled this incredibly difficult time gracefully and helped keep up both morale and productivity on our team. Because of this, we were able to meet our stakeholders’ high expectations and continue to produce exceptional work for our partners. Kristen leads with confidence, compassion, and humor, while possessing an extraordinarily creative eye. I have no doubt that she will be an extremely valuable creative leader in her next role!”
