An example from a few recent leaders on my LinkedIn:
Jason Weichert
Director of Finance - Stratasys
September 19th 2019 -
Jason mentored Tina
Having worked with Tina for roughly 4 years, I can honestly say that Tina's experience and approach to procurement and sourcing make her a great asset to any team. Some of Tina's core competencies and areas where I feel she went above and beyond surrounded her approach to sourcing... Tina was always very organized, transparent and pragmatic in her approach. She finds the proper balance between challenging vendors and internal stakeholders, while staying aggressive to save our company money, but mostly make the best decision for the company. She has a very keen eye for ways to save money, and her attention to detail make her a great business partner. Finally, her dedication and work ethic were constantly evidenced by her willingness to get the job done at all costs.
