What They're Saying

I had the pleasure of working with Theresa as the government liaison for the company I work for; the time I spent with her has been invaluable. Her deep understanding of regulatory processes and her ability to navigate complex government frameworks have made a significant difference in advancing initiatives. Theresa’s strategic insights and steadfast professionalism have set the standard to seamless collaboration with government entities. I trust her expertise completely and highly recommend her guidance in achieving impactful results with any business-government endeavor.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with and for Theresa for over 20 years. During this time I have been extremely impressed with her knowledge of the U.S. Government and how she has managed and grown the GE Research Global Government Relations Team. During her time in with GE she not only expanded the reach of the team, but also significantly increased our research funding orders and revenue. Theresa also played a significant role in the diversity and inclusion efforts within GE, serving as an operating leader for 2 of the largest affinity groups as well as the diversity and inclusion leader at GRC. Theresa has also served a s mentor, coach, and ally for many people within GE and outside the company as well. Theresa will be a great asset to any organization or endeavor that she pursues in the next phase of her career.

I had the honor of reporting to Theresa for more than 14 years while working for GE Research. Theresa is the consummate professional - a true role model of a leader. Theresa is firm but fair - always operating with integrity and the right mix of supporting her personnel while delivering the best results for the company. Theresa is extremely well connected to federal and state leaders. She is insightful, principled, and courageous in dealing with clients, her superiors and her subordinates. She should be sought out for providing advice and delivering results across the spectrum of government affairs functions.

Theresa and I worked together at GE from 2004 through 2018. She is among the best in the business in forming public private partnerships, with an emphasis on cutting edge R&D. Whenever I asked for her support on any issue or needed to connect with someone in her network, Theresa was someone I could count on. At the same time, her results in securing government funding for research at the GE Research Center have been phenomenal. Now, the course I teach at the University of Pennsylvania includes a segment on partnerships between private organizations and governments. Theresa was my first choice as a guest lecturer on that subject, and she has kindly shared her expertise with the class for several years. Her presentations and the discussions that follow are a highlight of the course for the students. I am looking forward to her presentation to the 2023 version of the course.
