Although Sherpa 360˚ only recently opened its doors, the owner of Sherpa 360˚, Gretchen Flanley, has an excellent reputation and over 14 years experience in the agriculture and development arenas.
"Gretchen served as project coordinator on a diverse group of cooperative efforts between the government of the U.S. and the Regional Government of the Azores (Portugal). Her work and coordination were impeccable, displaying tremendous foresight she anticipated issues and developed solutions. She displayed great presence and rapport with senior Azorean government officials. At a critical juncture in the project Gretchen's guidance and leadership provided structure, direction, renewed impetus and client confidence in the overall program."
V. W. 'Web' Freeman, Chief, Navy Section, Office of Defense Cooperation-Portugal
"Gretchen's innovative approach to strategic project management is unmatched in the industry. Her ability to think 'big picture', while understanding the detailed process required to take an initiative from concept to completion has played a key role in the success of every project I've had the pleasure to collaborate with her on."
Lisa Nichols, Director, International Programs, American Seed Trade Association
"I have worked with Gretchen for over four years in a number of different capacities related to agricultural policy. In all instances, she demonstrated leadership and direction, with an acute instinct for communicating with others from different countries and cultures. I am thrilled to see she is branching out and sharing her experience and knowledge with others through Sherpa 360⁰, and I look forward to continuing our business relationship through this new vehicle."
