Strategic mindset of a board director:

"My investors introduced Allison to me as a potential board director. Now that she's focused on investing, she offered to syndicate part of our round, bringing in 20+ CEOs/operators to serve as an informal advisory board. Since then she has introduced us to a dozen candidates for executive, board, and advisory roles. She's advised on our go-to-market and org design and in general is super responsive."

Experience of a company builder:

"When I need advice on how to handle a challenging executive situation, like a VP abruptly quitting, or a C-level executive underperforming, Allison is the first text I send. When Allison speaks in a board meeting, everyone stops and listens intently. When I need someone who can balance the strategic needs of the business, against the stressful reality of being a founder, I call Allison."

Connections of a community-builder:

"Not only has Allison leveraged her network to open up several new customer conversations, but as an influencer in B2B, her thought leadership blog post on 'Why Warmly was a must' brought in several dozen more customers. Allison is also THE go-to operator for many top-tier funds, as they lean on her for advice on which startups they should back."

MVP on the cap table:

"Your cap table is one of your prized possessions. I've worked very hard to vet the superpowers of all of my investors, and it was clear that when I met Allison I'd have to raise the bar to a new standard given her incredible support of our business. More importantly, her efforts come from a place of genuine interest, which means her opinions are always well-founded and adapted from her prior experience to our present situation. Allison's network adds tremendous value at key inflection points, whether it be for talent acquisition, advice, customer intros or funding. It's clear that working with Allison is bringing results that will have massive ripples well into our future."

"Legendary partner":

"You would be very lucky to get to work with Allison on your company. I can say that with confidence, since I had that exact privilege for 6 years, when Allison was our COO. She wields a remarkable combination of vision for the future, strategic thinking, willingness to help, moral grounding and compassion for others that makes her a legendary partner. I've stayed in close touch with Allison since her time at Gainsight and am privileged to be an investor in her fund and co-investor with her in deals. She is working with the cream of the crop in terms of investors and entrepreneurs and is adding tremendous value through her insights, network and actions. I've already written one book (on Customer Success) WITH Allison and could write yet another book ABOUT her in terms of her impact on people."

Creative sounding board:

"Allison's go-to-market and sales expertise has been a critical asset, starting even just a few weeks into working with her. She's very responsive to providing advice and is an incredible thought partner helping think through creative ways of working through challenges. I'd highly recommend having her as a part of your round if you have the chance."

Top-notch public speaker:

"This was one of the best sessions I have attended in a post-WFH world. The candid nature and the actionable takeaways made this a remarkably wonderful hour."

"Allison is an excellent speaker. The dialogue was insightful and packed with material information, not pie in the sky theory or academic examples. This is the first time a webinar speaker captured my attention. I wish I could follow Allison around all day to absorb her effective presentation style!"

"Razor sharp intelligence + well prepared + clear structured answers + clearly been there and done it experience."
