What do People Have to Say About Lane Cooper?

"While I headed the Office of Citizenship and Innovation for Public
Sector at Microsoft, I worked with Lane on two breakthrough papers
regarding the issue of 'Digital Divide.' This was a new area of
engagement with government and required quite a bit of education
and 'evangelizing.'

Lane and I embarked on what became a breakthrough position paper
on the subject of Digital Divide and the challenges facing cities as
they moved to resolve this issue. Lane quickly embraced the subject
and enthusiastically moved forward with background interviews and
research. The resulting work was well acclaimed and has served
Mayoral staffs across the country.

Our second paper together was written in collaboration with one
more subject matter expert. Lane worked very well with both of us
and was able to bring our thoughts and styles together in a very
good piece which furthered our work on Digital Divide.

What's great about working with Lane is that you develop a true
partnership. What's best about Lane is that he is straightforward, is
clear on what needs to be accomplished and won't let you stray from
the impact of what you are trying to get across. And...he never
misses a deadline. He is superb to work with."
