Gillian is one of the most supportive, hardworking, and dependable people I’ve worked with. She communicates clearly, delivers on time, and goes the extra mile. She made sure I understood the systems she put in place so I could confidently manage them. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.
Elaine Entenza, Founder, Pilates Brevard
“
I hear this question so often from my clients: ‘Is there anyone out there who can actually make our HR and administrative operations work well?’ I now have a referral for them - Gillian! She builds systems that support effectiveness, quality of work life, and ease of use.
Sarah Brown, Founder, Into Right Relationship
“She had an incredible ability to see all the moving pieces of an organization - people, processes, administrative details, financial systems, deadlines - and make sure things actually got done.”
Amanda Murphy, Owner, Rooted Purpose Media
-
It's difficult to overstate how much ownership Gillian took during her time working with our organization.
What stood out to me most was that Gillian didn't just complete tasks. She looked for ways to make the systems behind them work better. She created processes, improved documentation, brought organization to areas that needed it, and consistently noticed the details that could easily fall through the cracks. Just as importantly, she communicated clearly and made sure the people around her understood what was happening and what they needed.
Gillian also genuinely understands nonprofits. She knows what it's like to work in an organization where everyone is wearing multiple hats, capacity is limited, and the mission still has to move forward. She brought an enormous amount of knowledge, structure, and support to the organization, and many of the systems she put in place will continue benefiting it long after her time there.
I would confidently recommend Gillian and HiveWorks Group to any nonprofit or growing organization that needs someone they can trust to step in, take ownership of the work behind the scenes, and make sure it gets done, and gets done well.
