“I still remember the moment Germaine told me she was leaving Proofpoint (to travel, enjoy life, etc.), and that news hit me like I just found out there was a death in my family. As I realized I was going to lose the best boss I'd ever had--and the best HR exec I'd ever known--I also keenly felt the loss of one of the great people at the company as well. Even though I was extremely happy for her, I couldn't help but think how we would all be diminished in some way by her departure. And, sadly, things were never the same after she left. Her strong sense of purpose, inspirational leadership, deep and rich understanding of all things HR, and her infectious energy created an amazing work environment for me--the likes of which I may never see again. She brought out the best in me, and working for Germaine has been the golden period of my career.”
