“I had the pleasure of managing Bree while I was the Associate Director of OD&L at Tripadvisor, and to this day, I consider her one of the best thought partners I’ve ever worked with. Bree brings a unique blend of curiosity, clarity, and roll-up-your-sleeves action. What made her stand out immediately was the depth and range of experience she brought from other roles—she used that background to build thoughtful, scalable processes and programs that actually worked for the business and the people. One of the most impactful projects we worked on together was reinventing the mid-year review process. We shifted it from a retroactive performance conversation to a forward-facing talent development discussion. It was also the first time we collected talent data across the entire organization. Bree played a key role in helping me design a dual-purpose model that not only helped us evaluate talent placement but also provided clear, practical manager actions to support individual growth based on placement. It was a big, complex effort, and Bree made it feel possible. Her strategic thinking, paired with her ability to operationalize a vision, made all the difference and I couldn't have accomplished this project without her. She asks the right questions, listens carefully, and challenges ideas in a way that always moves the conversation (and the work) forward. Bree is sharp, empathetic, and incredibly reliable—someone you want in the room when you're trying to solve complex problems or create something new.”
