VP SAP Business Lead, Canada Bread Company, Limited

“As project leader, Maria planned regular team meetings to gather updates and share information so all stakeholders contributed or were informed as appropriate. She ensured key actions were noted and highlighted to the group. Where items seemed to linger unnecessarily, she sought input from others (more senior and more junior) on how to close the issue/action and then tracked them to completion. I found Maria personable, prompt to respond and hard working.” April 10, 2012

“Maria is a dedicated and knowledgeable payroll professional with extensive managerial and payroll experience, including payroll system software. Maria exemplifies leadership and is an effective communicator, as well as an excellent change agent. I had the opportunity to work with Maria on an HR project. The Employee HR system was being converted from Legacy to SAP. Throughout the project Maria ensured quality of all deliverables, to the extent that payroll had to be 100% accurate as required :-).” February 21, 2012
