Denise receives high praise from the executives she works with often described as forward-thinking, professional, knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to work with.

“Denise was a joy to work with, and exactly the touch we needed at our annual user conference – the single most important event we host every year.  Denise is a very articulate spokesperson for the changes we are all experiencing as marketers in a social world, and deftly balanced an urgent call to action with a sense of calm and empowerment.  Able to tie big ideas to solid, practical examples, she has a great style and truly outstanding content.  She was a highlight of our conference, and I’d be delighted to work with her again.”
