Silvia Specht always strikes the right note. She understands not only what I say, but also what might be behind it. She’s highly focused in her work and continues to work on the issues that matter most to me until they’re done. One-on-one, Silvia Specht always shows respect and speaks frankly and directly to me as an equal. I treasure her ability to grasp the big picture and the various interconnections even though we only work together occasionally.
