I am the present CFO (previously President) of a large medical practice that that has 10 obstetrician/ gynecologists, 3 nurse practitioners, 2 pediatricians, an associated reproductive endocrinologist, and approximately 65 employees. Over the past two decades, Bev has been directly involved in a number of our very substantial commercial build-out projects. In each case, her performance and execution has been nothing short of exemplary.
Our most recent project was the build-out of a large medical suite encompassing 28,000 square feet. The starting point was an empty shell (we were the first build out this space in what was then a new building). Put differently, we were starting at virtual ground zero. The end point was (simultaneously): a 17,000 sf Ob/Gyn office, a 4500 sf Pediatric office, a 4,200 sf Infertility office, and a 2,300 sf administrative office.
Bev worked seamlessly with the architect, contractor, subcontractors, cabinet makers, floor installers, and on-and-on. In each case, she added huge value. In many cases, quite frankly, she added the only value. Time and again, it was Bev that provided insights that at the end of the day made our space special. While we hired her for interior design, what we got was that plus an ongoing consultant for virtually every aspect of the project. Our end result was an absolutely beautiful medical office suite. Even a number of years later, it is not uncommon for patients to comment that the office is the most beautiful they have ever seen.
Relative to interior design, Bev is as good as they get (awe inspiring). In the project referenced above, she was tasked to make the ob/gyn office sophisticated and upscale, non-intimating, and resilient enough to handle a flow of several hundred patients a day. The pediatric office had to be professional and somehow "connected" design-wise to the Ob/Gyn office, while at the same time being fun and whimsical (a kids' office, after all). The infertility office had to exude a comfortable professionalism. The administrative office had to be functional and pleasant for our staff (for as little expense as possible, as the rest of the project usurped our budget!). In many ways, each segment of the project was very different and was associated with its own challenges. Given the framework defined for each space, the final product produced by Bev fringed on perfection (and on budget!). Her ability to blend different elements of the project to create one unified beautiful "whole" was simply outstanding.
In short, Bev is a gifted interior designer, with impeccable taste. She is a get-it-done obsessive compulsive perfectionist (which is, in my estimation, exactly what one would want from an interior designer). She excels in enriching in extraordinary ways an idea a client may have. She is a swift problem solution finder. She works extremely well in a team context, and quickly gains the respect of other members of a project. And, very importantly, she has an endearing and pleasant demeanor and is an absolute delight to work with.
Bev is, plain and simple, one of the most consistently outstanding professionals with whom I have ever worked.
