Joanna Kirkwood: Team Leader – Project Management
Years ago, Joanna decided to combine her social skills with her tendency to take control of pretty much anything she can get her hands on, and she turned it all into a successful career in Project Management.
Joanna is the kind of Project Manager that clients dream about, leading the Thrillworks production team of designers and developers (as well as outside suppliers) and guiding projects from inception to delivery, leaving in her wake one satisfied client after another. With experience ranging from consumer products and retail to pharmaceutical and automotive, Joanna is a natural born leader, organizer, coordinator and—just wait til you meet her!—people person.
Every carefully planned step Joanna takes focuses on achieving defined key objectives, providing top quality performance and—every time—ultimate client satisfaction. Leading the Project Managers allows her to share her experiences and to support the team to achieve personal and client successes.
When not organizing people, Joanna organizes... plants. An avid gardener, away from work she can often be found amongst the soil and fauna of her backyard paradise. Oh, and she’s a hockey mom, too. But these days, who isn’t? Even some of the dads at Thrillworks are hockey moms. Last but not least, Joanna has also been instrumental in bringing the illustrious salty cheese bagel to its much revered position among her Thrillworks colleagues.
