Catherine White, Marketing and Communications Associate, Marketwire – formerly CCNMatthews (colleague)
“During the time that I worked with Linda, she developed and revised a multi-media marketing tool for the CCN sales force. Today, the project would seem common place, but in the late 90s it was ahead of the curve. Using this tool, sales representatives could create customized presentations on the fly responding to client’s interests and questions. To launch a project of this scope requires a unique blend of expertise. I watched Linda juggled multiple deadlines, organized cross-functional teams, recommended proactive solution for changing priorities, all the while keeping the larger picture in mind.” November 4, 2009

George Farkas, President and CEO, XBI Software Inc (business partner)
“Linda represented CCNMatthews at XBRL Canada while I was chair of XBRL Canada and was elected first vice-chair, then chair of the Marcomm (marketing and communications) working group.

“Having worked with Linda closely over the years on a variety of marketing & communications projects I can only marvel at the great marketing instincts and dedication she has shown. Let’s put it this way …she knows her stuff! She undestands each media channel and how to get the most out of it. I can honestly say …you will rarely find the skill sets that allow a peson to both develop strategy and to execute that strategy, on a practical level, in one person …and that person is Linda!.” February 4, 2009

“I had the pleasure of working with Linda at Ingenium. At first right next door and then half a world away. She turned a one page text newsletter into a professional masterpiece that was a pleasure to read. A most jubilant lady, professional, dedicated, great marketing expertise and a willingness to see every project through to the end. I highly recommend Linda for any of your communications or marketing needs.” September 28, 2009
Elizabeth Stewart, Owner, Stewart Associates (business partner)
“Our roles as independent consultants to a global professional services firm required us to collaborate on a regular basis. I thoroughly enjoyed that collaboration, the advice Linda provided and the products she produced. Her dedication, willingness to work long — and when we were separated by thousands of miles — unusual hours and team orientation were greatly appreciated by our mutual client as well as by me! A strategic thinker who actually gets stuff done? A pretty great combination, in my opinion.” January 29, 2009
Andrew Murison, Senior Web Developer, Marketwire (colleague)
“Linda’s entrance into Marketwire provided the much needed energy and creativity that was lacking in the Marketing department. Almost immediately Linda’s presence was felt. Not only did she bridge the different departments in the organization, she also reinvigorated her department with her infectious energy and positive spirit. Outside of her regular duties, Linda was one of the key members of XBRL Canada, spearheading the MARCOMM initiatives of the consortium. While a web developer at the company, my interactions with Linda included a re-branding and re-development of our web presence. Being the lead web developer at the company, I was on the front line for the positive feedback provided by both our customers and internal staff. I would highly reccommend Linda.” September 24, 2009
Rodrigo Lima, Client Relations Manager, Marketwire (colleague)
“I had the privilege to see Linda at work while she took CCNMatthews by storm and revamped its image for a greater success. Linda is a reliable professional who keeps up with communication trends.
