"Carly is spectacular to work with - I would work with her again in a heartbeat. [...] Carly's deep knowledge in freight forwarding is hard to come by as compared to other supply chain and operations professionals. She has a deep understanding on how things actually get done, and this means she can make miracles happen when others might think that there is no other way! She also can describe WHY things cannot happen to folks outside of supply chain and operations with confidence, since she has so much experience - which is incredibly helpful for communicating issues outside of our control to non-supply chain leadership."
What would you say to someone who was hesitant to work with Carly?
"Take a bet on Carly - you won't be sorry.

Carly is incredibly adaptable and eager to meet (and far exceed!) your expectations. Open communication and feedback will help her to continue to adapt her own working style to meet your needs. She is always looking for ways to make things better and make the life of the people she works with better!"

"I would work with her again in a heartbeat! [...] Carly's work is incredibly thorough and she was great with clients as well, able to explain sometimes complex concepts to non-technical founders, CEOs, and other employees well."
What would you say to someone who was hesitant to work with Carly?
"Just try it and you'll see why you were wrong.

Carly's impressive resume speaks to her significant breadth of experience, which is crucial for any well-rounded supply chain operator. Having a stint in consulting proves the intensity of what she's been able to deliver and the type of environment she can succeed in. I often look for a similar background/model in operations hires I bring on - established company, then consulting or similar startup wearing-all-the-hats role, then growth and evolution within a startup."

"I trust her completely in the world of logistics and would give her a call any time I am looking for advice to redesign a network.
[...] Coming from a background with a global freight brokerage company provides a unique level of detail in the world of international logistics. From here she chose to learn through the consulting lens so it was never straightforward or "cushy" as each client requires a different need at a different time which taught her how to be nimble, flexible and provided her extensive training in the world of operations."
What would you say to someone who was hesitant to work with Carly?
"To give me a call :)"

"Carly has the freight forwarding knowledge which is (in my opinion) a gap within the consultancy world. She looks at supply chains as a whole rather than in the movement of goods “box”" [...] She is super thorough and thinks about the ancillary details that others don’t which always seem to cause the biggest challenges."
How would you describe working with Carly
"Trustworthy and easy to do business with.

"There's a ton to learn from Carly's rich experiences. It's not just her knowledge of logistics or operations that's impressive but also her willingness to help others learn and solve problems, which undoubtedly separates her from others. After all, there's countless logistics professionals with deep industry knowledge, but only a few of them have the leadership qualities that Carly has."
How would you describe working with Carly
"Working with Carly was one of my many highlights at Skylight. She brings unparalleled enthusiasm and relatability only seen in highly collaborative, team-centric individuals. Carly is always on time, committed, and willing to help in any way she can. Most striking of all is her ability to take on the most daunting of challenges with grace.

"She educates while also taking the lead in these areas, making others feel involved and able to understand the process better [....] I learned a ton about freight/logistics from Carly, especially how to ask the right questions! "
How much will someone learn about the freight forwarding industry by working with Carly?
"A TON."
