She has an unwavering ability to cut through the noise and get straight to the meat of the problem at hand, using her extensive scientific training and work experience. Time and again, I saw this produce extremely effective results, especially in the setting of coordinating and drawing consensus across several functional groups, from biostats and clinical to marketing and regulatory. Would unhesitatingly recommend Loretta for any professional endeavor she may choose in the biotech/pharma industry.” --Prabhakar Viswanathan, PhD, MTech, MBBS-medicine, clinical investigator

“I worked very closely with Loretta on a daily basis while I was in the health outcomes group at Amylin. She is very intelligent, extremely organized and is great at executing and completing projects under very short timelines and extremely demanding work loads. She is also very knowledgable and one of her great strengths is to take large chunks of information and distill it down to clear concise written materials. She has the outstanding ability to get up to speed very quickly on new topics and digest large amounts of material. On a personal front, Loretta is a great team player and is personable and very cooperative. She is also very capable of executing alone as well as in a team environment. I recently recommended Loretta for a very competitive assignment at my current company (Medtronic) and received very favorable feedback regarding the quality of her work and her professionalism. I hold her in the highest regard and recommend her work without reservation.” --Rosalind Fabunmi, PhD, health outcomes scientist
