I can say without reservation that Julie Rasmussen is the finest corporate executive I've ever worked with in the last 25 years of my career in corporate communications. She is exceptionally bright, uniquely talented, passionate about her work, forthright and fair in the management of her team, engaged in the world outside her balance sheet, and, in the end, a kind person you can trust completely. If I could create my own ideal CEO from the drawing board, she would look, think, act, and manage exactly like Julie Rasmussen.
