“I rank Kristal amongst the highest caliber performers I have had the occasion to work with.  Kristal’s salient characteristics include forward looking vision and anticipatory and contingency thinking, and she is generally speaking – a ‘mover and shaker’ known for doing the ‘right things right’."

"I worked with Kristal for four years in Brussels, Belgium, where she helped build the U.S. Chamber’s European branch office from scratch. In Europe, Kristal was an excellent resource for companies needing on-the-ground intelligence on issues which could impact their bottom line. In addition, she became the U.S. Chamber’s ‘go to’ person for implementing new European initiatives on issues ranging from transatlantic regulatory cooperation to intellectual property rights policy. Her experience in working in different business environments and with different cultures helped the Chamber articulate its messages in an effective way, particularly in areas where public policy and business concerns may collide. Whether dealing with team members, corporate executives or government officials, Kristal’s enthusiasm, reliability and common sense approach helped us achieve our goals."

"As one of Kristal's colleagues at the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration, I found her to be self-starting, collegial, and keenly interested/able in applying analytical rigor to the trade investigations per which we both worked. Her knowledge of how both the private and public sectors really work was evident and it does not surprise me she has put that base of understanding to effective use in her ongoing international trade related career."

"Kristal excels as a collaborative member of our writing team. She quickly learned our internal systems and writing conventions and brings her wealth of experience to every assignment."
