She'll Break Every Barrier and Push Through Every Issue to Drive Results
"Dogged persistence is what I think separates Tessa from everybody else. The difference is, when she's on the trail for her client, she's going to run as hard as she can. She'll break every barrier and push through every issue to deliver for them. This level of partnership is unlike anything they've ever experienced. If I were talking to them, I'd say, "Listen, there will be many people who can do this. here's the difference you're going to see from Tessa: dogged pursuit."

Deep Understanding of Developer Needs and Ability to Bring a Team Together to Drive Results
The first thing that comes to mind about Tessa is that she deeply understands the wants and needs of the developer audience and is able to empathize with them and advocate for them with internal teams. To say another way, she's great at ensuring the teams that build products for developers do so in a way that is developer-friendly and gets at the core of the problem they’re trying to solve. As a bonus, I think she's great at putting all of this into detailed strategy, documents, and plans that are easy to follow and help rally a team behind her to solve.
