"It's not every day you come across a professional who embodies both the essence of their name and the caliber of their work. Ma Cherie Cortez, formerly known as Dolor, is one such individual whose journey I've had the privilege to witness and collaborate with during our time at Philips. As the lead delivery manager from our IT supplier/partner, Ma Cherie managed a vast portfolio with numerous projects running concurrently on an annual basis. What stood out most about her approach was her exceptional listening skills. She didn't just hear our needs; she truly listened, carefully assessing the demands placed upon her team while maintaining transparency about the challenges they faced. This honesty in communication was not only refreshing but built a foundation of trust that is rare in today's fast-paced environment.Ma Cherie committed to what she could deliver, and she delivered what she committed to, showcasing a rare blend of reliability and integrity. Her transformation from Dolor to the delightful Ma Cherie Cortez I know today is a testament to her personal and professional growth.I value her honesty immensely and trust in the continuous transformation she undergoes to excel in her field. Bonne chance, Ma Cherie. Your future endeavors are lucky to have you."
