Highlights:
• Bravo Award from an Engineering Colleague: Collaboration - We Deliver: Generate Enduring Impact: I would like to thank Jeanne for keeping us organized and delivering results on the recent effort to close multiple Major Incident Response tickets (IPTs) [for the DLP team]. These tickets have been on the books for about 2 years now with minimal results, but with her guidance and support, the team was able to close these IPTs before the final due date. In addition, she went above and beyond by ensuring that all the exceptions, not just the IPTs, were actioned. With Jeanne's leadership, nothing will fall through the cracks and everyone feels like a winner! - Greg Briles
