About Janet Starkey

The internet has made us all smarter and more impatient: “Don’t waste my time! Help me find what I’m looking for FAST!” I learned early on that the devil is in the details. By listening, observing and connecting the dots, I’ve helped create delightful user experiences, participated in the creation of brilliant designs and achieved the overall satisfaction of individuals, teams and customers. As a keen observer and connector of people I’ve mentored, socialized and led change in ever-evolving environments by fostering teamwork, achieving successful organizational collaborations, and resolving problematic issues. And I can whip up a gourmet meal all while texting [kidding about the texting]. I love learning new things and meeting new people. The big picture is my world and the way I manage the details keeps the world spinning on its axis. Working with cross-functional teams I have been successful at bringing out the best in people, identifying challenges, solutions and navigating the path to successful outcomes. The Details- Diversified background includes experience in managing user experience and design for enterprise websites, guiding website usability and user research studies, managing vendor programs, advocating and practicing user-centered design, project and budget management - Solid understanding of corporate branding - Strong organizational skills; detail and results-oriented - Skilled in conflict resolution and problem solving - Highly effective in multi-tasking, working under tight deadlines on high-visibility project situations - Excel in learning and mastering new skills
