While attending Florida Gulf Coast University in the pursuit of my Business Management degree I had the pleasure of taking my Entrepreneurship class with Mrs. Pusateri. In this class we were taught the principles of entrepreneurship through many different mediums including book content, guest speakers, offsite interviews with entrepreneurs from many different parts of the world, and Mrs. Pusateri's personal entrepreneurship journey. From day one it was clear to me that Mrs. Pusateri possessed a genuine passion for entrepreneurship. Her lessons were engaging and her personal experiences as an entrepreneur made the book content come to life in every class I attended. I remember Mrs. Pusateri asking on the first day of class how many of us had the dream to become entrepreneurs and everyone in the class except me raised their hands. I never thought I wanted to become an entrepreneur, but it's with great joy that I can say that my husband and I will soon start our own small business here in Fort Myers and Mrs. Pusateri is one of the many people that has influenced us in taking this exciting step into the entrepreneurial world.

Few people have the opportunity to work with someone who is an amazing coach, mentor, visionary, educator, & a expert in their own right — "I do when I work with Christa". Saying Christa is an amazing colleague would be an under statement.

I had the pleasure of working with Christa to expand the Evanta CISO Coalition and was consistently impressed by her knowledge of the IT security space, her deep connections with practitioners in the information security & IT fields, and her strong set of business development skills. Christa works to drive outcomes for the business and always ensures that the customer's needs are the top priority.

I collaborated with Christa during the creation of Lynx's homepage. During this process, I was quite amazed with both her ability to rapidly execute, and her openness at allowing me to contribute of my own accord at a rather late stage in the process. She proved to be very professional, collaborative, and flexible, and it was a real pleasure to work with her. I always felt like my feedback was taken seriously, and that I was an important part of the process. I would gladly work with her again. She knows her stuff, and has great people skills!

Christa offers a wealth of expertise and experience. She fluently translated high-level marketing concepts into actionable steps and followed through with others at Algenol in a very personable, engaging manner. As an intellectual property attorney with Algenol, I worked with Christa on an initiative organized by her to create new slogans and taglines to be used in marketing Algenol and increasing the company’s brand profile. Christa facilitated the collaboration of Algenol personnel from diverse technical and managerial backgrounds, which helped to generate numerous very interesting ideas for potential new trademarks. In Christa’s time with Algenol, she brought a comprehensively professional approach to corporate marketing and branding. I greatly enjoyed working with Christa, and found it to be a positive learning experience. I would highly recommend Christa for a similar position and am confident she would prove to be a key contributor in any organization she joins.
