“Southard has been a go-to resource for The Coca-Cola Company since 2008. She is the person everyone wants on their team. She delivers top quality work. She is diligent and self-directed. She can manage projects of any scale. And she is creative and agile. Southard can pivot from strategist to doer seamlessly and she is comfortable in both roles. She adapts to feedback with ease and has never missed a deadline. I truly enjoy working with Southard and give her my highest recommendation.”
