Former CEO, BJs Wholesale Club
Elaine was a superb consultant, a valued advisor, and significant contributor to the success of our overall organization. She was a pleasure to work with, a consummate professional, as well as a friend and a trusted advisor.
The counsel that Elaine provided to me and our senior team, in constructing a solution that worked for the broader institution, was invaluable. She also played a crucial institutional role assisting me and others in our senior leadership navigate a complex challenge of which we had no comparable experience.
Whatever the specific assignment, her priority was always the overall health of our organization, and its long-term success, and for that I will forever be appreciative.”
