testimonials

“Luisa is one of the strongest operators I've ever worked with. It can be very difficult to build and scale programs quickly while also maintaining empathy and trust for the communities you're building programs with. Luisa does it all."

Laura Anderson · Director of Social Impact, Instacart

"I’ve worked with hundreds of talented people in my company, and Luisa is absolutely one of my favorite. When she became available as a consultant, I jumped at the opportunity to work with her again."

Andy Burness · Founder, Burness Communications

“Luisa is a dream collaborator. We launched many programs together and not only was she reliable, hard working and adaptive, but she made the work fun. I wish all of my clients operated with Luisa’s drive and integrity.”

Mollie Koplin · Senior Manager Corporate Partnerships, Feeding America

"Luisa is one of the best program managers I have ever had the opportunity to work with.  Our partnership with Instacart would not be the success it is today, or have the tremendous impact it has had without her support and leadership."

Jason Wilson · SVP Marketing and Communications, Partnership for a Healthier America
