    “Adrienne joined TikTok to lead the Creator Marketing Solutions function towards the end of my time at TikTok, but even in our short time together she made a lasting impact. She is an incredible leader who takes a significant personal interest in each of her direct reports and close partners. I truly aspire to emulate her poise and effectiveness as a leader. Even after I left the company, she has generously offered her time and knowledge as a mentor. Anyone would be lucky to work on Adrienne's team.”

    “Adrienne is one of the most detail & result-oriented people I've ever worked with. In our time working together Adrienne was patient (an incredible listener and calming presence), forthright when dealing with problems, pragmatic in her approach to department improvements, and most of all, a dedicated team-player. On a more personal note, my work ethic changed as a result of Adrienne's influence and that is no small feat - what an incredible human and colleague.”

This team under Adrienne’s leadership was a key driver in helping us operate more efficiently and effectively.”

I have no doubt that she’d be in asset to any team.”

    “I had the pleasure of working with Adrienne for over a year at BuzzFeed. She has proven to be a key contributor to our growth and has found ways to make an impact at each stage, which is not easy to do. In multiple capacities, she found ways to glue disparate teams together to ensure that the train stays on the tracks, no matter how fast it goes. She has a great pulse on what's coming next and is the right person to solve those problems before they happen. As a manager she allowed for a high-level of autonomy while providing guidance along the way, which is exactly the environment I excel in.”

    “I worked on Adrienne's team at Jetsetter. In my experience, Adrienne as a manager has a talent at developing skills in each of her direct reports. She does this by identifying each person's skills, and then defining strategies and finding opportunities to foster and exercise those skills. This style builds responsibilities of each individual and then the team as a whole.”

    “I enjoyed working with Adrienne at Jetsetter. She and I worked on improving the tools used by the Member Services team (which she managed). She was great at distilling the most important use cases and requirements and gave me critical insight into what customers were saying about the Jetsetter product, what was confusing them, and what product improvements would save her team the most time.”
