What Our Clients Have to Say

Congratulations to Ampersand on their 10th anniversary. They have given me, and those I work with, great guidance on building our team members as individual contributors and as a cohesive working unit. I have worked with Ampersand at both Scripps Networks as a director, head of the Compensation Committee and in my role as CEO at NPR. I give them my highest recommendation for the work they have done for us.
