“I worked with Emily on a daily basis and know that her determination and passion drive her to excel. She was always willing to take on more responsibilities and was able to meet our high expectations for growth despite all challenges. She has taken established brands and sped their growth (such as BHG.com) but also took large brands with little online presence to unexpected levels (such as LHJ.com). A journalist at heart, she has high standards for professional excellence in our craft; she cares deeply about her staff; she embraces stretch goals as a measure of success; and she has boundless energy to energize a team. In a time when the Internet was going full-speed, she helped accelerate our success. I deeply appreciated her efforts then -- and still do.”
