“Kova is an excellent manager, brand strategist, cross-functional partner and leader. I had the opportunity to work under Kova recently. Kova’s understanding of brand, general management, and strategy and her leadership skills brought higher level thinking to a small business with little strategy and no understanding of brand and brand marketing. She used her knowledge and skills to establish brand strategy based on consumer insights. She created several processes to drive efficiency and organizational alignment including an annual strategic planning process, budget planning and tracking, monthly business reporting and analytics, and an agency briefing process. Kova’s leadership cross-functionally helped drive better relationships through improved trust, communication, and collaboration. She was a valued business partner to across several business units. She brought together marketing and sales and drove a better working relationship to align on forecast and drove better visibility to marketing activities and KPIs. Kova was an excellent advocate for her team, always driving visibility to our work and leadership in the business. As a manager, she challenged us to think differently about the business and bring more depth and understanding to the organization and empowered us to be leaders. Kova trusted us to build our brands but also helped us grow through coaching, educating, and challenging us in areas outside of our comfort zone. She coached and mentored me on managing difficult personnel challenges to help drive more collaborative working relationships. She is also a trusted career mentor who supported me outside of just the scope of my job. Kova’s experience and knowledge in brand marketing, strategy, general management and leadership is at the highest level; she’s one of the best managers I’ve had. I learned a lot from her during my time reporting to her. She understands the consumer and the business and can bring a balance of both to the table. She’s an invaluable asset to any organization as both a leader and a brand expert.”
