Testimonials
“I worked with Julia while leading U.S. Operations, overseeing four manufacturing facilities and a workforce exceeding 2,000.
Julia is a powerhouse. As she advanced rapidly in high-impact roles at Steelcase, she demonstrated a knack for mobilizing teams and driving complex initiatives like regionalizing manufacturing and integrating an international subsidiary. She earns trust quickly and sustains it. I have full confidence in her ability to lead and grow a business with integrity, discipline, and genuine care for people and customers.
It is genuinely challenging to capture her special gifts and abilities, so please, if you want to talk, reach out.”
- Robert Hendriksen, Former Head of U.S. Operations at Steelcase

She is an attentive listener, a confident people leader, an inclusive delegator, a methodical problem-solver, and remarkably wise beyond her years.
