To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
I
am
writing
in
response
to
your
request
for
a
reference
for
Alison
Gaston.
Alison
has
had
a
long
and
productive
career
at
Thomson
Reuters
where
I
first
met
her.
I
was
Thomson’s
Strategic
Sourcing
Officer
responsible
for
negotiating
corporate-­‐wide
agreements
and
developing
strategic
relationships
with
major
vendors.
You
could
imagine
the
legal
requirements
needed
when
negotiating
multi-­‐million
dollar
agreements.
Alison
was
my
go
to
Counsel
for
Real
Estate
agreements
and
worked
directly
with
me
and
my
immediate
staff
on
Strategic
Technology
Procurement
projects.
I
know
Alison
for
many
years
and
she
has
been
a
valuable
contributor
to
the
companies
she
has
worked
with.
Alison
played
a
significant
role
on
a
particular
project
I
lead
that
saved
Thomson
hundreds
of
millions
over
a
3
year
period.
She
would
be
a
valuable
asset
to
any
company
she
chooses
to
work
for.
Regards,
Barbara
