In Their Own Words…
“Valrie demonstrated an unparalleled commitment and capability in bringing Refoundry’s vision of building out an office and training workshop to life.
When we embarked on the ambitious project of building out Refoundry's new facility in a completely raw space, we knew the challenges that lay ahead. Valrie was able to manage partners, stakeholders, vendors, and pro bono legal counsel via highly structured and productive meetings that ensured we met key deadlines.
Valrie’s contributions did not stop at the brick and mortar buildout. Her holistic approach to operations enabled her to seamlessly pivot from physical project management to the intricate task of program staff and participant recruitment and hiring. Her intuitive understanding of our organization's culture ensured that we onboarded a team that was not only skilled but also aligned with our values and mission. To support our staffing structure, Valrie trained our administrative manager and transitioned from managing the day to day operations.
Furthermore, Valrie’s deep programmatic experience, and her ability to anticipate challenges, propose innovative solutions, and work with the team to implement them efficiently, was invaluable to Refoundry’s program development.
Lastly, the support she provided in the form of board engagement was exemplary. She facilitated communication between all stakeholders, made sure we were always compliant, and helped bridge any gaps, ensuring that our board had a clear and high-level grasp of operations management.
We are profoundly grateful for Valrie's contributions and confident she will be an asset to any organization fortunate enough to work with her. It is with genuine enthusiasm that I recommend Valrie for any operations and project management initiative.”
