"I've had the pleasure of working with Tara in her role as a product management executive at Turner. She is an out of the box thinker with strong technical acumen. Tara introduced technical product management processes and facilitated collaborative prioritization with cross-functional teams to enable the right products to be delivered to our consumers. There are select people in an organization you can trust to carry the full responsibility of the product management lifecycle, and Tara is one of those individuals. I would highly recommend her."
