"Emily is a tremendous marketer with a keen understanding of creators and media companies. At Meta she worked on incredibly complex product areas, bringing simplicity out of chaos and approaching her work with a clear vision. She has the ability to step back and plan, alongside the expertise to get into the details to get things done. She showed incredibly adaptability across her range of work and I have been so impressed with her ability to fluently translate across product and market-facing teams."

"Emily McMahan has absolute star presence and can command any room. Her expertise, passion for her work, and her communication skills are top notch - most of her time in my team was spent working in the very thorny area of integrity and she was able to effectively influence not just product teams but also policy and legal teams to improve outcomes for creators on both Instagram and Facebook. These improvements reduced incorrect demonetizations and takedowns, and reduced the amount of time teams spent triaging these escalations by a large %. 

More recently, I reassigned her to work on a Top Secret Launch that is happening in a few weeks... I'm upset that she won't be there to celebrate her hard work with the team but know when you hear a major announcement on a few weeks from IG, Emily was instrumental in getting that project from 0>1."

"I had the pleasure of working closely with Emily on the Business Development team at Dropbox. From day one, Emily identified areas that lacked structure and documentation and took swift action to build a best-in-class framework for our three branches of BD: Strategic Partnerships, Telco, and Distribution Strategic Alliances. Her approach aligned perfectly with our shared commitment to putting the customer first, one of Dropbox's core pillars.

One of Emily’s standout contributions was her work on revamping our PC OEM user journeys. She collaborated cross-functionally to enhance messaging, refine user flows, and modernize a previously outdated experience. Her thoughtful approach in working with external partners to align value propositions to ensure that we met our joint key objectives.

Emily's contributions were impactful and I would not hesitate to recommend her. I would gladly be a reference for her and would enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
