“If you want someone you can count on, who makes you, your project or event better, Bourgogne is the person with whom you should engage. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Bourgogne both while I was at Good Light Capital as well as post that with some work for the International Women’s Think Tank. She is that rare mix of creative and big thinking crossed with actually knowing how to get it done….and then getting it done! She is respectful of her team members who enjoy working both for her and beside her (ok who couldn’t with that smile, great attitude and fun sense of humor – that stays even when times get pressed and tricky!). Highly recommend her and look forward to working more together in the future.”
