REFERENCES

"Adrienne and I worked together on the most important--and high-profile--events that Doubledown Media ever conducted.
Adrienne's work ethic, curiosity and enthusiasm made her invaluable me, as I hosted peer-to-peer roundtable meetings for Fortune 500 CEOs and the heads of the Private Equity industry. Adrienne took her work very seriously and approached each challenge with focus and enthusiasm--no matter how daunting or trivial the task. Her curiosity was outstanding--she solved her own problems, worked through impediments that might block her way and really took ownership of everything she did for me. And her enthusiasm--well, you've just got to meet this professional to understand how her spirit can enliven an entire team."

-Doug Weber, Associate Publisher at Doubledown Media


“It was such a pleasure working with Adrienne at Doubledown. While we didn't work in the same department, she brought a strong work ethic to the table and handled a lot more responsibility than someone her age is often given. She planned dozens of events for high-end professionals, worked the door with a clipboard and a smile at said events, executed tasks promptly and wrote exceptional press releases. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she possesses a mature, professional manner beyond her years. Hire her!”

-Chris Gillick, Associate Editor, Trader Monthly and Dealmaker, Doubledown Media


“I served on the faculty at FIT, and during my time there, I had the pleasure to work with Adrienne Waldo. In addition to her always positive attitude, I was struck particularly by her work ethic. Adrienne had no "sense of entitlement". She innately understood the importance of having pride in her work, and she always worked hard to achieve excellent results. I received nothing but glowing reports from the companies that had offered her internships. She combines a high level of maturity with a friendly, approachable personality, and is nothing but an asset for any business smart enough to hire her.”
