“"I had the pleasure of reporting to Shannon for about 3 years. When interviewing her as a potential executive team member I asked what it would be like to report to her. She told our team that she was “fair, firm, and friendly”. Through the years I got to see all of those dynamics in action, and I entirely agree. I would, however, add one other trait: Compassionate. Shannon embodied what it means to “put people first and lead with compassion” and it's been one of the most valuable lessons in my career. She was also a great partner to her peers on the executive team and provided much needed leadership to the organization through challenging times. Shannon helped shape me to become the leader I am today and inspired me through her example every day. She paved the way for me to succeed her when she found her next leadership opportunity elsewhere. I owe her much!”
