“Angela has worked side by side with me for most of her 11 years at the firm, and she has been instrumental in the development of many of our innovative service offerings and search methodologies, including our adoption of Lean Six Sigma processes and our McDermott + Bull Interim Leaders Business,” commented Rod McDermott, Co-Founder and CEO of McDermott + Bull. “Her dedication to delivering the highest quality service solutions and the best outcomes to our clients has made her an indispensable partner to all divisions within our companies.
