Christine Kapperman

I worked with Christine at the Reporter-Herald/Lehman Communications. She rapidly ascended the ranks because of her ability to see the big picture, to understand the audience and to harness the potential of staff to accomplish award-winning work. She's the type of person you need if you're starting a company or attempting to grow your company.

Christine is so smart, organized, and capable that she makes hard tasks look easy. Her writing and editing abilities shine, and her interpersonal communication skills put people (staff members, freelancers, bloggers, clients) at ease while accomplishing deadline-driven goals. Perhaps most impressive is her discovery of and facility with up-to-date social media tools to further the reach and impact of vastly differing types of content. It's rare to find a word person who also possesses such ease with modern technology platforms. That combination makes Christine outstanding in the new media and brand-marketing world.

Christine is an intelligent, detail-oriented, creative and forward-thinking manager. I worked with her for 13 years at the Reporter-Herald and was amazed at her ability to handle whatever came her way with grace and skill. In an ever-changing industry, Christine always launched new ideas and new ways of sharing the news to keep the paper fresh. I would happily work for Christine and recommend her for the helm of any publication.
