“I worked with Jan Williams at two different companies over an eight year timeframe. At both companies, she worked with our cross-functional product development teams to get our objectives aligned; eliminate functional barriers; and build effective teamwork, communication and problem solving. As a result, we had cohesive development teams that achieved world class results for Time-To-Market and schedule slip rate while delivering high quality products that significantly improved financial results.”
