My Vu
Product Manager
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Vicky across several different teams at Workday and I would highly recommend her for any UX Operations roles! During the three different teams where I’ve worked with Vicky, she has always come in with a positive and empowering disposition and uplifts all of us designers. I have consistently stayed organized in several design projects due to the many useful processes that Vicky has implemented into our team and overall organization…Vicky would always have an open door and be willing to help me.
