MJ is more than an ‘A’ player—she is a bona fide rock star (and is lot of fun to work with).

43. Recommendations “Marie-Jeanne introduced a new era to the company, both in terms of marketing operations and team work. She brought us her business acumen and helped us understand how to make our partners sell our solutions successfully. She created the EMEA organization Marketing unit and made all countries naturally follow her steps based on the extraordinary results her region obtained. Even the USA adopted her methodology and good practices which proved very efficient there too. Marie-Jeanne also played a great part in making the sales staff really work close with her while her predecessors had failed doing so. She conducted excellent marketing campaigns that not only contributed to increase our revenue by 113% in less than a year but she also managed to create our company wide spread image in a record time. In addition she was very good at maintaining a tight link with our US colleagues to manage budgets and corporate decisions in a very efficient manner. She is perceived as an example and true leader and well regarded by all her colleagues.” Philippe Ortodoro - VP Sales EMEA, LANDesk Softwaremanaged Marie-Jeanne indirectly at LANDesk Software, an Avocent company
