Dr. Sue Borrego is one of the most insightful leaders with whom I have worked in my career. She has a unique ability to quickly assess a complex situation and get to the center of it. Dr. Borrego articulates what she observes in a way that is both incredibly professional yet direct and courageous. She does not shy away from tough issues but finds a way to surface and discuss them that both acknowledges and challenges culture when it doesn't work for the benefit of those we serve.”

— Tom Green, Director of Strategic Enrollment Management at Salesforce
