WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Marlyn Denter
Director, Herbalife
Kanakara is an amazing person to work with, especially if you need someone who can think strategically as well as deliver on tactics. She is extremely reliable, respects deadlines and asks all the right questions when being given an assignment. Better yet, she is not afraid to challenge the status quo and helps her clients think through challenges in a thorough, thoughtful and holistic way. Her experience in communications has been invaluable to me in a variety of situations. It also helps that she is an excellent writer and gets things done with very little direction -- something that's so important considering all the things that demand our time in today's work environment. I highly recommend Kanakara to anyone who needs the talent and skill set she brings.

Portfolio Manager, SCE
Kanakara played an instrumental role in ensuring the SCE Enterprise was prepared for change with a new technology system. She developed a solid and effective OCM plan and executed that plan seamlessly while always keeping a smile on her face! While communications is her area of expertise, her biggest strength is her positive, can-do, and friendly attitude.

Arif Consulting, LLC
I have worked with Kanakara on several organizational change projects. One project was an ERP system implementation that impacted virtually every organization in a company of 13,000 employees. Kanakara was amazing! She provided communications to different employee segments and tailored the style of those communications to each organization’s culture. She also delivered communications in multiple platforms - from portal content, PowerPoint presentations, talking points for leaders and executives, newsletter articles, and even TV monitors - Kanakara does it all! And she does it with a high level of professionalism and quick turnarounds. The result was that we delivered our project on time (and under budget) with a high degree of employee awareness about the changes that were impacting them.
