“Janna has avoided the hardened cynicism of most New Yorkers. She is one of the most generous connectors I've ever encountered, and her genuine enthusiasm is contagious. I'm constantly impressed by her proclivity to buck the trend of how things are normally done, and to encourage those around her to do the same”
