Comments & Testimonials

We hired Lillian to increase sign-ups and participation for our DICE Hack IT activation. We were extremely satisfied with her performance and the outcome.
Founder, DICE
We are building a very powerful spreadsheet product and we partnered with Lillian to get that product to market. As a technical founder, I was pretty naive about what it would really take to get a big product to market. Working with Lillian was a critical part of us getting to the next level in our business. I would definitely recommend working with her.
Founder & CEO, Sheetrocks
