Summit Ends 2013 with Three New Hires

As a capstone to Summit’s year of record growth, we have added three key staff members to help support our increasingly specialized services.

Ms. Brenda Dutrow joined our team this month as Manager of Due Diligence services within the Financial Services directorate. Her legal experience within Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac housing and healthcare real estate finance makes her well-suited to support Summit’s existing engagements involving loan re-underwriting and closing. She is admitted to the District of Columbia Bar and earned her J.D. at the Widener University School of Law.

Ms. Heather Brotsos comes to Summit as a Consultant. She will support our Applied Statistics and Economics directorate, working on engagements for the U.S. Department of Labor. In previous positions, she led an economic modeling practice, building models to forecast growth potential and risk in implementing marketing initiatives. Ms. Brotsos is skilled in SAS, Stata, and SPSS, and holds a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University.

To help support Summit’s data-driven engagements, Mr. Ken Morris joins us as Information Lifecycle Manager. His primary responsibilities involve ensuring that adequate hardware and storage are available for the multitude of data Summit works with, in addition to evaluating potential business opportunities to verify that Summit has the capability to handle the nuances and challenges of anticipated datasets. His experience as a systems architect and vast knowledge of information technology will prove to be valuable assets within Summit as we continue to grow.

We are glad to welcome these individuals to the office and look forward to working with them as we greet 2014!
