Director, Content Strategy and Engagement @ DaVita Kidney Care

My name is Barbie Hunley, overseeing delivery across all programs at General Motors (160+ SF employees). I wanted to share praise from the Marketing Cloud Project sponsor, Nolan's lead. Bill Fowler told me that in his 20+ years with Salesforce, Nolan is one of the best hands-on consultants he has worked with. Nolan's ability to organize, lead with creative solutions, and maintain a professional approach sets a standard for others. This is some of the best customer feedback I've received at GM. Bill is exploring additional funding to retain Nolan, impressed by his delivery and team enablement. It's been a pleasure working with him, and I hope he remains on the team.
