Michelle Saunders, Managing Principal of Michelle Finegan Saunders Coaching, San Diego Area

“Michelle was very strong in organizing her team to succeed. She anticipated the needs of senior management and the Board and was able to effectively focus the activities and communications of her team to address those needs. She was a very strong advocate for people who worked for her, a pleasure to work with, and a great voice of reason in helping me to think through my career.”  Aaron Levine, Senior Manager, Patient Marketing, Genentech and formerly a Senior Product Manager at Skinmedica, Inc.

"... Michelle was very helpful during a time of transition in getting me to focus on the issues I was facing and identify my priorities. She helped me develop a plan of action and held me accountable for my activities, which helped motivate me to take action and think through issues more clearly, as well as to reduce my stress level. I would definitely recommend Michelle as a great resource for anyone going through a transition in their lives.”  Georgia Theofan, Sr. Director, Clinical Operations, Ceregene, San Diego, CA

Tom Ucko, MBA, MA, President, Tom Ucko & Affiliates, San Francisco Bay Area

“I was in an interim role with no position power, working with people who had more experience than me and were located in multiple external locations.  Through my work with Tom I learned how to more effectively manage and lead within a matrix setting, as well as ways to more effectively manage direct reports remotely.  Tom helped me learn how to prioritize and focus when faced with multiple competing projects."  Bruce Olmscheid, MD, Senior Director, Medical Affairs - HIV, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Foster City, CA
