“Hazel is an influential, practical, dedicated, professional, executive-class leader, who can tackle any issue by rallying support and delivering the best from everyone that she works with. More than 3 years here at Deem, I've seen her shift from the most hands-on tasks as Localization Director to the most executive decisions as COO/Chief of Staff. Along the way she steps up to every challenge that others avoid, builds value where it was missing, and turns things around that no one else can. Before Hazel arrived, the company had some stop-gap measures in place for their International customers. Hazel hired the best in the Globalization industry, then pushed alongside the team, growing and empowering everyone, to roll out fully Internationalized and Localized releases, to help secure new and repeat business in the Americas and Europe, while opening the door to Deem's involvement in China. Hazel has tackled huge jobs like this repeatedly, across the company, bringing the best out of every resource involved, showing that her leadership is top-notch. She is fearless in asking crucial questions for the business, and persuasive in bringing consensus to the answers. She's articulate and passionate about concerns, creative ideas and vital processes that she has in mind or which come from her team. She listens to everyone she works with and provides critical feedback and guidance where needed. She is dedicated to the company while nurturing and cultivating her team, and providing the fairness and transparency needed with partners, vendors and customers. She earns trust from those who depend on her, builds cooperation across teams, and projects a truly professional presence inside and outside the company. I very highly recommend Hazel and would be thrilled to work with her again.”

Why is it important to choose a vendor with experience in your industry?
I prefer to think of value vs cost. If a partner brings value in terms of time, efficiency, or revenue, the cost can be negligible and can create a long-term partnership and huge benefit to the business. In the space I exist today, the Multi-Disciplined Fractional Leader often pays for themselves by delivering more revenue, partnerships, and growth for companies at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, think 2 for 1 + revenue. My mindset is to look at the ROI on the investment to determine if the value is worth the cost - sometimes it's a no-brainer!

Why is it important to choose a vendor with experience in your industry?
Having been both a buyer and vendor, the importance of industry knowledge carries a few key benefits—extensive knowledge of current and evolving trends, and a clear understanding of your USP and your competitors. They can clearly define, design, and implement a solution to benefit your business.
