I have provided consulting services to Julie on numerous occasions and have found her to be an extremely smart and intelligent individual, extremely focused and very 'business savvy' in both Corporate and Entrepreneurial environments. She is on my most trusted list.
- a client in Moscow, Russia says -
I had the extreme pleasure of working for Julie Rasmussen in Moscow, Russia during the extraordinary market turbulence of the 1990's in Eastern Europe. As the CEO of Mary Kay International Russia and Europe, Julie provided unique leadership and vision, opening and establishing Mary Kay as the #1 prestige American cosmetics brand throughout the former Soviet Union, along with Hertz and line of coffee shops (through MK's parent holding company Richmont.) During unbelievable market gyrations in all directions, I learned from her the value and payoff of focus, discipline and hard work. Wanting to be my own CEO one day, Julie was a delight to work for as she allowed me the space to take an idea and run with it, promoted as you demonstrated your competence and contribution, and as well encouraged and demanded excellence in all disciplines from me and the entire staff.”
- a client in corporate leadership says -
Julie is one of the sharpest strategic business minds around with a track record of successful execution. She is the real deal, and has developed a number of diverse ventures from concepts through to profitable thriving businesses in a variety of markets. She has a unique combination of entrepreneurial flair and solid corporate experience that makes her equally at home in the board room or rolling up her sleeves and getting the deals done and product out the door. She is an effective leader who inspires loyalty and confidence, allowing her to get the best out of her teams.
