β€œIf you are looking for a field or local marketer for your team, I could not recommend M'Lissa Baker more highly. While at Orchard she stood up our local & field efforts up in Denver from scratch, developed a strategy that was equal parts ambitious and realistic, and executed on it exceptionally well. On top of this, she was a culture carrier: coupling a strong work ethic with a sense of humor. Any team would be better off for having M'Lissa as part of it.” - Phil DeGisi, former co-founder & CMO, Orchard
