Approach
Why it works
I know what happens to a document after it leaves your desk: review, legal, compliance, leadership, and back again. My job is to get it through that loop in fewer rounds without anyone having to babysit it.
When a project calls for more hands, a small bench of vetted editors works under my direction. Big volume doesn't have to mean a long wait.
