Testimonials

The Mountaintop team has been a great thought partner for me as a Chief Legal Officer at two companies. Most recently, Mountaintop facilitated an engaging strategy retreat for our global legal and compliance team. Their guidance helped us develop key legal reporting metrics that showcase the value we create and helped us identify opportunities to further support the company’s transformation strategy. Mountaintop also trained our team and coached each functional leader on how to leverage each person’s strengths to create a competitive advantage for the Company.

Rosa Maria Villagomez and Precious Williams Owodunni delivered an energetic, engaging training session to our legal department on “Becoming A Trusted Business Advisor.”  Having the viewpoints of both a former in-house counsel and an experienced business strategist was extremely valuable to help us understand how to effectively align our time and work with the business’s goals.  In terms of content, the training was presented at the perfect level for our group.  In fact, our team immediately used some of the strategies to gain insight from our CEO, in addition to walking away with other practical tools and approaches we can put into practice in the longer-term.

— Charity Kohl, Associate General Counsel, Finance & Corporate Secretary, LyondellBasell

Feedback was so positive for the panel that Rosa Maria led on preparing for performance reviews that our community of diverse women attorney continue to request access to watch the recording. This is my second experience working with Rosa Maria and Mountaintop, having taken part in their small group coaching program. If you’re looking for a strategic partner to support your career advancement, Mountaintop is it.
