Testimonials
Havala’s dedication to rigorous analysis, mixed with a warmly collaborative approach, made her a highly valued team member. Her work and thoughtful approach led our team in solving some vexing measurement questions, enabling us to move our work forward. She comes to the table with a generosity, sharing her intellect, insight, and inquisitiveness with a great sense of humor. I was also particularly grateful for her skill at synthesizing complex ideas and translating them not just for myself and the team, but for the various stakeholders in our work.

I worked with Havala for two years on a project I'd initiated 4 years earlier and can say with confidence that she would be a asset to any team that needs analysis done to justify actions, guide decisions or defend investments. She held our project accountable and guided us to an informed and defensible solution. She is brilliant and inquisitive and is quick to see the humor life's intrinsically indeterminate nature. Few can give you confidence and appreciation for what you don't know and what you do know as well as her.
