“Leanne and I worked on several research projects together when I was hired as a research contractor. Leanne has deep research expertise and an exceptional ability to translate complex user behaviors and needs into actionable insights. She doesn't just gather data, she tells compelling stories about people, making her insights accessible & meaningful for stakeholders from any department. Once the research is done, Leanne will take that next step to have follow up conversations and help document and track any recommendations that came out of the findings - this not only helps research teams connect their work to meaningful and visible product changes, but it also helps build trust with stakeholders since she helps position research not just as a team that identifies issues but also one that co-owns solutions. Beyond her research skills and influence, Leanne's ability to drive organizational change through making process more efficient (especially impressive at large companies!) and through building relationships beyond UX and Product departments makes her one of the most impactful colleagues I have ever had. In addition to her organizational impact, Leanne is absolutely fun to work with. She's collaborative, she takes challenges in stride, and is always looking for ways to improve. I admire her strategic mind and her knack for operational excellence and would be thrilled to work together again.”
