I have been working with Emily as a freelancer over the last few months and from the moment we started working together, it has been such a pleasure to support her. Emily has a gift for building relationships quickly and she is very collaborative. I’ve really appreciated her transparent and flexible approach, whilst being able to make projects fun to work on together.
It’s also been great to learn from her (she really knows her stuff) and Emily has enabled new opportunities for me to progress too due to her extensive network, which I am forever grateful for. I honestly can’t recommend her enough and looking forward to continuing the working relationship!I have been working with Emily as a freelancer over the last few months and from the moment we started working together, it has been such a pleasure to support her.

I worked with Emily, whilst Emily was part of the business development team at eBay. I found Emily to be very helpful in helping me settle in my new role. Emily was really proactive with clients, and had a sound technical knowledge which made onboarding easier for my team. Emily was really proactive in identifying gaps in processes and calling these out, and most importantly Emily was a really good team mate. She will be sorely missed by everyone I worked with Emily, whilst Emily was part of the business development team at eBay. I found Emily to be very helpful in helping me settle in my new role.

Working with Emily at HN was one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career so far. Emily has an incredible ability to support her colleagues in tasks that are new to them, whilst also leading a team to its desired goals.
A real go-getter and someone that passionately cares about bettering those around her, Emily is a real asset to any team she is on. I will always be extremely grateful for her positive attitude towards me in what was my first job at a large company.
In addition to her excellent management skills, Emily is honestly remarkable in the business development/commercial side. Emily's ability to communicate and create long-lasting relationships with partners is something I have always hugely admired. I really hope to work with Emily again in the future!
