Kind words from peers, past customers, and managers
“Monica is the kind of person you want on your side: dedicated, patient, thoughtful, and very detail-oriented. In her you specifically find the uncommon blend of requiring excellence, while not being overbearing or negative.”
Brendan Mulvihill, VP of Operations at VenuePilot“Monica is one of the most dedicated, detail oriented, and passionate people I have ever met. She is an expert in all facets of the music industry, and draws upon her extensive experience. Sharing many clients, we worked together for years at Ticketfly and Eventbrite. She was always on top of things, and had her clients' best interests at heart. A proactive force of nature, she strives for (and reaches) excellence. Her desire to achieve greatness is quite infectious. A leader by example and in all ways, I hope I get the chance to work with her again. I highly recommend Monica, and she would be an amazing addition to any company. “
Chip Thomas, CCO at Eventim USA“Monica is the definition of excellence: beyond her inherent knowledge of the music industry and music marketing, she has unmatched attention to detail, outstanding productivity, and an incomparable ability to navigate the management of multiple large accounts simultaneously. Monica holds herself and her co-workers to high standards, making her a credible and sought-after project leader. She has a natural ability to distill complex concepts to their essence and is a respected communicator.”
Amelie Hamelin, Chief of Staff at Hive.co “You know those people who inspire you to do better at your job so you can be more like them? Monica is that person to me. She is an absolute rockstar. Monica is an incredibly intelligent, diligent, organized, skilled-thinker. Her live music industry knowledge runs deep and her passion for servicing clients is unmatched. I have to believe that if you asked every client she's ever worked with and every colleague she's ever partnered with to give her a grade, it'd be A+ across the board. Her ability to craft solutions to any problem is amazing. Her talent for confidently handling the most difficult of conversations is impressive. “
