“Having worked directly with Michelle over the past year, I was afforded the opportunity to witness one of her many her expertises. No matter the size or complexity of the project, she will always get it over the finish line. I initially engaged Michelle thinking her past accomplishments were representative of her current talents and I was intrigued. I soon learned that Michelle is far more talented than I could've imagined. Specifically, we worked closely on an app development project for almost three months. And although the milestones were abstract at times, Michelle's innate curiosity, ability to create tangible business requirements and ultimately pave critical roadmaps are unmatched in the business world. Michelle is a strong leader, getting stronger every day. Her work ethic and drive inspired me daily. My hope is to work along side Michelle on another project in the near future.”

KNOW did such a great job of picking topics and speakers that spoke to relevant, engaging subject matter that some attendees were actually asking for panels to not break for lunch, which is basically unheard of in our experience. Our own Michelle Beyo was on hand to take part in a panel about emerging technology’s ability to combat “fake news.” -
