Recommendations for Ann from her

“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ann Ralston for several years at a global translation company in the not-for-profit sector, wherein she led a critical effort to streamline operations, solidify the management team and drive the all-important notions of cash surplus and fiscal stability across the organization. Ann’s quick grasp of corporate mission, strategy and tactics led to an efficient project start-up and her leadership allowed for the coordination, amongst many organizational disciplines, required for several major systemic upgrades and the successful development of project profitability reporting (my predominant focus).
She is a fantastic mentor for young executives and an assertive leader who possesses a unique blend of management savvy, organizational discipline and strategic vision. Ann built and trained an effective leadership and management team that successfully weathered the spinoff of this business unit from the parent organization.
I would strongly recommend Ann for organizations looking to (1) build a dynamic team and to (2) fine-tune and operationalize their strategies.” August, 2009

Bruce Collen, Partner, Focus Business Solutions

worked directly with Ann at Ralston Consulting Inc.

“Ann did a project for me putting together a program for an annual regional conference. She did a superlative job! Ann did original research, and developed the conference program around the results of that research–a truly novel and exciting, and transferable approach. She is an outstanding planner, facilitator, thinker, and on-her-feet presenter. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.” August 7, 2007
