About Skeates Consulting:
“Working with Winnie was one of the best experiences I've had working with a consultant. She took a great deal of information and data, and synthesized it into a format that my managers could understand. I felt like she was part of our company instead of being an outside consultant - she really took the time to get to know our jobs, our management team and most importantly, our culture.”
Holly Molinaro, Vice President of Human Resources for high technology company
“Winnie’s previous corporate experience, and her consistent on-time delivery of high quality work are just a few of the many reasons that I use Skeates Consulting. I never even considered contacting anyone else as a result of my initial experience. It’s a pleasure doing business with Winnie.”
Susan Herman, Director of Human Resources for technology company
