From what started as a simple spreadsheet has grown into a bustling community of over 60 contributors, employing their own editors and managers, and all of whom are working for free. That amount of work is just not possible without a leader who ensures that every step of the way, the process is easy and clear, the options organized." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

“Working with Steph Malone is gift that I will miss dearly. Launching a new virtual product offering, building a new health plan member email program, developing our free assessments offering, and so many other initiatives has been a huge lift for so many people at Airrosti, but Steph has been responsible for some part of ALL of it. Messaging, visuals, cadence, consistency, congruency, and on and on. Steph has exhibited super hero level patience and tenacity despite getting bombarded with a tremendous number of projects often with conflicting messages, requests, and strategy, and a perpetual due date of ‘yesterday’. Then, add to that already impossible task a revolving door of opinions, suggestions, and direct orders regarding all the pieces of the puzzle. Most people would fold under the pressure or simply ‘get by’, yet Steph pushes forward and does everything with diligence and passion even if her expertise and own ideas conflict with the direction given. The suites of materials, videos, overall creative direction, and branding she has created and worked with the team to develop have been amazing (and effective!).” Former Airrosti VP of Sales
“Stephanie can be described in two ways. One being passionate; she wears her heart on her sleeve and puts so much effort into her work and the people she works with. She looks out for others and thinks outside the box to make sure the product being made has no competition. Another way to describe her is resourceful; she sees her teams' areas of expertise and leans on them to provide well rounded products, if for some reason there needs to be more research done, she is happy to do it because she will stop at nothing to make sure her deliverables carry the high standard, she holds herself to. The way she appreciates her team and keeps moral high is not something every manager does, and it will be extremely missed.” - Airrosti Project Manager
"She is worth hiring because of the hard work, creativity, and dedication she will bring to any job. She is a delight to get to know and will always have your back when needed." - Airrosti Project Manager
"Stephanie fosters a collaborative team environment by sharing her wealth of knowledge and empowering her team through empathetic communication. Stephanie's mentoring approach drives growth and performance, making her a valuable asset in cultivating a strong and successful team." - Former Airrosti Senior Director of Strategy, Marketing
"I am consistently impressed by her ability to lead by example and to always go the extra mile to make all teammates feel included and valued. Steph is organized, calm, consistent, and an excellent leader. She will be an invaluable asset to any team." - Airrosti Senior Digital Marketing Manager
Her creativity is unmatched and the way she looks after and cares for her team is a joy and honor to be a part of. She always goes above and beyond for her team and always prioritizes finding ways to support her team in so many ways. I'm so grateful for how she would check in on our wellbeing and mental health. Her professional communication and work ethic is incredible. Thank you, Steph, for always believing in me, giving constant support, and being such an amazing leader." - Airrosti Social Media Manager
"She was happy to offer us tips and advice, guidance about appropriate email marketing platforms, and the grace to allow us to contact her again if we need assistance or constructive criticism concerning our process and graphic design. An understanding about just how small our organization is has been key to translating some of the work that these volunteers do for their enormous companies, and Stephanie has been right on target in terms of understanding our position and budget needs. I cannot recommend her enough!” Keara N., Nonprofit Social Media and Marketing Manager
