Rapid scaling and cross-functional alignment
Dr. Belinda Tan, MD, PhD
Co-Founder & Co-CEO, People Science | Former Co-Founder & CMO, Science 37
Anne came to work with us at a time when we were rapidly scaling and creating several new departments in a short period of time. It was critical for us to articulate and clarify our cross-functional roles and responsibilities, and workflows. Anne came to the rescue. She diligently worked with department teams and leaders, and made sure to listen to everyone’s input. She synthesized a tremendous amount of information and was able to simplify the complex. Anne was a catalyst for our company to get organized at a critical juncture of growth. She helped us take our organization to the next level.
Jay Trepanier, CPA-MBA
Chief Financial Officer, Paradigm | Former COO, Science 37
Anne led the creation of a full RACI framework — a demanding, high-impact project that produced a detailed operational workflow still in use today. The results far exceeded expectations, creating structure, clarity, and measurable improvement across the organization. Internal operational consulting and strategic leadership at its best — combining deep operational insight, structure, and people skills to drive lasting organizational success.
Note: Jay worked with Anne at Clinverse, where he served as CFO before being promoted to CEO. He later brought Anne in again at Science 37 as COO.
Haroon Shapoor, CPA, CGMA
Chief Accounting Officer, Aledade, Inc. | Former Stakeholder, Science 37
Anne is a rare talent who can turn unspoken or fragmented processes into actionable frameworks that are aligned with value proposition delivery. Her ability to align people while bringing structure and clarity to messy or undefined operational approaches and processes is second to none. She can take abstract or complex processes and make them tangible, collaborative, and improvable.
I was a stakeholder in an engagement with Anne where our fast-paced startup had come to a halt. We were effectively spinning. Anne was recommended to us to help get past this roadblock. Her easy-to-understand approach helps teams see interdependencies across departments, which creates aha moments. Her approach draws out insights even from people who are not naturally communicative. A critical outcome is that she gets leadership on the same page and on the right path.
Within 4 months of senior leadership across our four operational pillars working collaboratively with Anne, we had end-to-end guiding playbooks including departmental roles and responsibility assignments (RACI collaboration model) that our company could then use to develop the practices required to deliver on our value proposition and accelerate growth. She got us to the next level, setting the stage for a successful outcome.
I would always welcome the opportunity to work with Anne again and highly recommend her services.
The deliverables from her engagement enabled HR to redefine job descriptions for more effective hiring and it enabled the Training department to quickly align training strategy and module development. Our investors were also reassured that we knew what we were doing and how to get there.
Clinical trials technology and operations
Jay Trepanier, CPA-MBA
Chief Financial Officer, Paradigm | Former CEO, Clinverse (acquired by Bioclinica)
I had the pleasure of working with Anne for more than 2 years at Clinverse. Anne is a dynamic leader with exceptional organizational skills and an ability to dissect and resolve complex problems. I was impressed with her ability to evaluate current processes and then implement changes to make them more efficient. Besides great personal skills, Anne also exhibited very strong technical skills and was a valuable asset to the company, as well as looked to by many people as a mentor. I would gladly work with Anne in the future and highly endorse her.
Tony Click, MBA
VP, Enterprise Services, About Objects | Former CTO, Clinverse (acquired by Bioclinica)
As the CTO at Clinverse, Anne reported to me. While at Clinverse, Anne was invaluable tactically and strategically - putting structure around a haphazard development process for our Costa Rica based SaaS product delivery team. Anne is amazing at building relationships and understanding people, and developing trust. Anne is exceptionally versatile and with her broad experience base to draw upon, she's able to quickly find an approach for the challenge at hand. What I found particularly valuable is her ability to constructively disagree - she had no issue telling me when she thought I was wrong and we could discuss rationally. Even when I made a decision she didn't agree with, she was behind it 100%. The strongest professional recommendation I can give is that Anne is on a very short list of people I enjoy working with, have a tremendous amount of trust in, and would bring on-board every opportunity I can.
Carlos Campos
Senior Software Development Manager, C R England | Former Software Development Manager, Clinverse (acquired by Bioclinica)
Anne is a gifted professional with a clear mindset: improving people, processes and businesses. During the years we worked together at Clinverse, Anne added great value to the team in areas as planning, product delivery, SDLC, release management, project management and negotiation. Her outstanding thinking and decision-making skills remarkably raises standards in every aspect of the business, fostering highly more efficient environments. In a nutshell, Anne is not only a strong leader, executive, mentor, and innovator, but mainly, a game changer. Definitely, a person that I would like to work with again.

Anne is all about realizing value through the use of a sensible approach mixed with suitable standards and capabilities.

She builds strong teams, ensures they possess the skills and tools needed to succeed and then collaborates with and guides them to success. In working with Anne and her team members, I found them professional, knowledgeable and very focused on business outcomes.

Complex multi-faceted population health project
Eileen Ciesco, MHA
Retired Chief Operations Officer, MHA, Community Care of North Carolina
Anne is extremely well organized, detailed and focused. Anne is a self-starter and responsive to client’s needs. Her assistance with strategizing and executing on a very complex multi-faceted project requiring detailed specifications at the organizational and informatics levels was invaluable.
Utility asset transaction and due diligence
Clifton L. Parker IV, P.E.
Owner, President & Professional Engineer, Virginia Engineering Services, LLC | Former Principal, VA Foundation and Water Well Inspections
Anne was absolutely essential to the Fox Run Water Co., Inc. transaction which closed in August 2012, transferring the utility assets to Aqua Virginia. I don’t know if the deal would have occurred without her. Anne was extremely professional and helped Fox Run organize its business information to move the deal forward. She was involved in due diligence, operations, as well as legal and regulatory issues and was a pleasure to work with. She earned our respect, and it was clear the owners of Fox Run appreciated her as well.
Strategic thinking and value management education
Pamela JS Thomas
Chapter Leader, IIBA RTP Raleigh Chapter
I first met Anne Hartley at a conference and knew immediately that her perspective on Value Management was something our IIBA RTP Raleigh Chapter needed to hear.
Anne has a unique superpower: she makes complex strategy feel accessible and actionable for Business Analysts. She delivered a modern, engaging take on “Being a Value-Focused BA” that encouraged our members to move beyond project-level tasks and focus on true strategic alignment. Her framework sparked deep, interactive conversations that lasted right up to the end of the meeting time.
