GNA

Financial

Over the years during which Kathleen Hosfeld worked with GNA, she demonstrated an ability to work effectively across a broad spectrum of marketing, strategic and consulting assignments. These ranged from tactical projects of short duration to longer term assignments for which considerable business understanding and strategic thought was required. Several assignments involved serving as the external supplier of marketing and consulting resources customarily provided by an entire internal department. Kathleen added considerable value to GNA in these assignments; she grasped the business issues quickly and brought thoughtful objectivity, clear analysis and candor to each, often mixed with needed humor. These attributes led to swifter problem identification, selection of alternative solutions, buy-in and execution.
