Rebecca Cook

“Rebecca quickly became Ansarada's rising star during the time that we worked together at Ansarada, and was able to quickly realise her potential. She showed great ingenuity, motivation and collaboration to mould herself into a consummate product manager. Rebecca has an innate need to understand both people, and the product in great detail so that she can grow, challenge and support both sides equally well. She has the ability to look at things through the eyes of both the customer, and the business which gives her a unique edge over many other product managers, giving her both the ground, and 10,000ft view needed. She was able to gain this through her passion for customer success, but ultimately knew that the true way to set customers, and the business up for success, was to build things that solved the problem for the customer. She is an expert at diagnosing the actual root cause, and not just the symptom. Rebecca had become my my most trusted colleague, one who executes at an incredibly high level of quality while delivering at speed. Great under pressure, collaborative and consultative, she's a massive asset to have on your team, but more importantly, a great person and leader. Finally, she is a true community leader. Helping lead and collaborate on #WomenInProduct initiative born out of Sydney, she's always looking for ways to enable and empower other people in this space. This sums Rebecca up perfectly. A thoughtful, passionate, value lead professional who leads through example, and reproduction, creating leaders in those all around her. ”

“Bec started with Ansarada in our CSM team in Sydney and quickly showed that her talents, passion and drive would take her anywhere she wanted to go. She quickly took on a massive change project of her own and delivered its roll out and implementation brilliantly across our 3 global offices,she quickly realised that she had a talent and drive to deliver product. Bec put herself through college to study Product Management and applied and landed a Junior PM role within our extremely stressful and busy PM/Dev dept, where she was quickly promoted to a senior role, where she has done an amazing job. I honestly feel like Bec has found her calling, the culmination of all her natural soft and technical skills, from being in service to customers and handling Investment Bankers and CEO’s as well as involving herself in so many internal projects and learning everything that she could expose herself too like a sponge, has made her such an asset. She is an amazingly empathetic attentive listener, who skilfully judges and weighs the need of the customer and business to drive outcomes which benefit all stakeholders. Bec’s people and management skills are very adept, on point and always considered in terms of context and the individual. I have worked with many people who I think will be successful in the future, Bec is an individual that I would bet my house on that she will be a huge success when given the right opportunity. ”
