"Jamie Holter is the best in the business when it comes to translating complex data patterns into useful, usable information for reporters and editors. She has a genuine grasp of the deadlines journalists face in delivering information to their readers, listeners and viewers.

 

She's also creative in proposing ways in which data at her disposal can be best used by reporters to the benefit of their audience. She's the consummate professional and a delight to work with."

                                                                                                                                                              Ashley Halsey, Washington Post

​

"Jamie's open and honest personality eased customers up to offering both intensely critical and supportive feedback to our department. This information was hard to solicit for our previous team, but was easily achieved by Jamie. This was no doubt a unique skill set we appreciated.

 

Jamie worked well on our team. She showed up to meetings prepared, on time, and ready with new thoughts. She works with passion and had a customer-first mentality from day one. Our team sessions were always high energy involving screen shares, role playing exercises, thought experiments, knowledge sharing, whiteboarding discussions, and self-made videos to drive conversation forward."

                                                                                                                                                  Kyle Kingma, UW Product Manager
