I worked with Elise when she was with her previous employer and have engaged her a number of times since she has been running her own business. Elise is just one of those people that you want in your toolkit and in your life, she knows the answer to our systems issues almost immediately and thinks beyond the initial query to give you a holistic approach to the problem...that's rare! I am very selective with my recommendations but this is one? I didn't hesitate for a second.
