Tricia Snyder Lewis
Over the past three decades, working both in the client and agency environments within strategy and operations, I have seen the power and dysfunction of outside consulting and in-house talent relationships. This insight has driven me to create RE: Source, where the talents of the client and consultancy can work together in harmony, optimizing the best of each other’s expertise. In my career path I have “collected” sources across many industries, who are recognized for their innovation and leadership in their verticals. The one common denominator is they all have a passion for solving the business puzzle that can take clients to the next level of competitiveness.
