Here’s what others have to say about Anittah:
Anittah is that rare breed of genius who not only thinks better thoughts but can explain them convincingly to others too. If alive today Einstein would have been pleased to call her a friend.
– David Schoenberger, Creator of board game “Family Matters”
Anittah is a woman of both action and innovation. You can always count on her creative thinking and dedication to quality. She expects the best from herself and colleagues and always delivers. She’s a pleasure to work with and despite being an independent spirit fosters teamwork and team thinking.
– James Hewitt, SVP, Global Head of Customer Acquisition Strategy, Citigroup International Cards
There are at least two kinds of smart. There’s the smart that goes into a room, picks out problems that others haven’t seen, and makes everyone feel bad. Then, there’s the smart that goes into a room, sees opportunities, identifies not only the problems BUT THE SOLUTIONS, gathers the corollaries, and helps everyone think things through. Anittah is the second kind of smart; she engenders smartness in others. She’s a smart-nucleus.
– John Young, Principal, Tikaro Interactive
Working with Anittah was a great pleasure. She is an unselfish, motivated, and hard working colleague. Anittah has legs, she’s on the move, and I was lucky to be on the Anittah Express [when we worked together].

She’s also the author of the thinking/marketing blog; read her recent thoughts here.
