“Elena is a professional management consultant who delivers her program of leading edge technology to the appropriate audience level. Her in-depth research of the technology was delivered in a clear and confident manner which I had the privilege of witnessing as a colleague on the Build-LACCD program as the District’s Energy Team based in Los Angeles, California. At our West Los Angeles College Campus, she managed project specific developments of renewable energy systems. In conversations with my fellow College Project Managers, she performed the same function that was based on District wide defined renewable energy goals. She optimized her participation on our campus by researching funding mechanisms for renewable energy projects in 2009 and 2010. Managing design approval with state design, state funding and local district representatives. Her enthusiasm is contagious and ignites team members to participate rather than just attend her meetings. This delivery provides a comfortable environment for the audience and provides the maximum potential for their retention of technical information. I strongly recommend her as a management consultant and know her next assignment will be a success in California and beyond.”
