Here is some anonymously given feedback from colleagues (from performance reviews!):

"Her influence in shaping the architecture…was extensive, going beyond just the mechanical layout and affecting cross-functional decisions as well."

"Cathy has become a force for thermal innovation within the company."

"Cathy works a problem fully. She strives to get all of the input data and builds development phase-appropriate models to create the best experimentation/simulation she can."

"Very good, very easy to work with, etc. She is an excellent resource that everyone uses…She is also willing to look at alternatives and do what it takes to make something work."

"Cathy is more than willing to share her expansive knowledge with any engineer and is patient in explaining concepts over and over again."

"…quick to narrow down the possible solutions to a workable number, as well as identify critical areas in the design."

"Cathy is an excellent instructor…Because of this, the overall thermal competency and awareness of the design teams have increased greatly."

"Because of her, I have much more confidence in our abilities to deal with thermal problems."

"She was very adept at anticipating where decision points were going to occur and frequently had…a recommendation available well before a decision had to be made. As a result, the design team was able to move smoothly through the architectural definition and design development with confidence that the thermal design…was realistic.
