Consultant Quotes
Over the years, we’ve met some of the most incredibly talented communicators in the nation. And we’ve discovered how much we’ve helped to change the lives of former corporate warriors who simply wanted to do what they do best—on their own terms.
Kind words from some of our consultants:
“I’ve known René for a number of years through both my work as president of the IABC Silicon Valley chapter and my years as a consultant. She is not only one of the most well-connected people in the Valley, she’s also one of the warmest and most sincere. She truly loves helping others connect and this comes through in her communication. Everyone at High Tech Connect is professional and easy to work with. I highly value my relationship with René and her firm and recommend High Tech Connect to both vendors and consultants.”

“I’ve worked as a consultant for High Tech Connect for years, primarily with their CA (Computer Associates) account. René and her team make it easy to be successful as a consultant. They take care of all the details–from negotiating rates with customers to taking care of insurance to making sure we’re trained on company style to making sure we have any materials we need to get started to tracking down loose ends on projects. Plus, they are fair, have a great can-do approach and are fun to work with.”

“I can’t say enough great things about being a High Tech Connect consultant. Even between interviews and projects, René, Michelle and Lori have always been there if I had a question or needed advice about how to run my consultancy better. And after I was placed in a project, they’ve been great mentors to me, helping me ease into my role and worrying about the invoices and payment…leaving me to do what the client pays me to do.”
Marnie, Pleasanton, CA
“I have known René for several years now and have nothing but positive things to say about her and High Tech Connect.

Valerie, Redwood City, CA
“If there is another entrepreneur or business owner on the planet who is more driven, focused, results-oriented and just plain WONDERFUL to work with, I have no idea who or where that person might be. I deeply value every minute I’ve known and worked with René and her team, and fervently believe anyone with an IQ above air temperature would feel exactly the same way!”
Michael, Santa Rosa, CA
“René has discovered the perfect way to use her many talents. She’s always maintained solid relationships with PR and marketing-communications colleagues at numerous high tech companies. She’s been equally diligent about staying in close touch with her gigantic personal network of friends and business associates. So High Tech Connect is ideally suited to connect corporate clients with individual contractors and consultants. Their vast network includes hundreds of freelancers. With that large a talent pool to draw from, High Tech Connect can quickly identify the right people with the right skill sets for corporate clients.”
Steve, West Linn, OR
“High Tech Connect and I have been associated for 12 years in what has been a very positive and mutually beneficial relationship. René and her team do a superb job of matching clients and assignments to consultants, and in fostering loyalty by looking out for both. And I love their entrepreneurial spirit!”
