Val Grubb & Associates - The Office Operations Problem-Solvers
Let's Interact!
"I got to work with Val for almost a decade: I've seen her negotiate with unions and landlords. I've seen her build an innovative office space and a strong work culture. I've seen her forge friendships and alliances. I've seen her train managers how to lead and how not to lead. I've seen her inspire excellent work and fire mediocre workers. I always knew if Val was involved, we'd be in great shape. There isn't any business that wouldn't benefit from this highly pragmatic, no-nonsense, can do leader.” - Geraldine Laybourne; Founder and former CEO, Oxygen Media
"Valerie’s strength lies in her ability to quickly identify the issues and then present solutions to senior management that result in a more efficient and cost-effective operation.” - Lisa Gersh; President, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
"Valerie is a sought-after team member in the implementation of any critical corporate project.” - Daphne Kwon; CEO, ExpoTV
"Our President of Operations left unexpectedly at a crucial time in our company’s growth. Valerie was able to bridge the gap to keep the (back-office) operations running while quickly assessing the organizational structure needed to support the company in the future. She then found the right people who could work across all platforms at the company, from the senior management team to our highly talented and creative employee base. I would highly recommend her services.” - Jenny Wall; President, Crew Creative Ad Agency
