I’ve received consistently positive feedback over the years from clients, peers, and direct reports – regardless of job function, geography, tenure, and level of experience. The feedback on these pages was provided by clients, or anonymously through performance feedback at SAP and ZS.
Leadership Style
“Natalie’s biggest strength is really in how she leads: she is consistent, and reiterates important things through her behavior, like being transparent and open, and creating an environment that fosters team collaboration and creative problem solving. … This kind of environment retains great talent while allowing us to innovate for our clients and [the firm].”
Impact & Expertise
“Your business impact at ZS – from UX in the Software Development group and in our Digital & Technology practice area to the Custom Development team and more – is significant and is seen by many.”
Communication
“She’s an incredibly articulate communicator. Part of the challenge is in getting people to understand our work and how we need to work differently. She is very strategic – sees over the horizon and ties it back to now – zooms out and back.”
Collaboration
“Peers relish their opportunities to collaborate with you and get tremendous value from interactions. They appreciate your thinking style, your responsiveness, your openness and candor, and your focus on the problem itself – not simply your areas of expertise.”
Talent Management
“Natalie, based on all of the testimonials I heard, in my experience you are among the strongest Principals [partners] in leading people. You are particularly distinguished in this area and it has had a big impact on the firm.”
Mentoring & Coaching
“We have standing 1:1s – she thinks differently from how I do. She’s very sincere in providing advice when you seek it. She brings a very different lens and is able to ask me questions in a way that opens up my thinking and helps me diagnose more deeply … extraordinarily wise person who takes time to reflect and then gets me to look inside more.”
Diversity & Inclusion
“Your impressive leadership of Pride@ZS was recognized by many peers. People really admire your commitment and have been touched personally by your passion. People are both grateful for and impressed by the impact you have had on the firm.”
“Another of Natalie’s strengths is her authenticity and courage to be herself. She is transparent about her thoughts and candidly discusses sensitive situations. Her openness is refreshing, inspiring, and unusual in the corporate world, where secrecy and ‘need to know’ thinking pollute several in leadership positions. These strengths help people to trust and believe in her, and rally around her to give her their best work.”
