Letter of Recommendation
“I am pleased to recommend Julie Lenahan for any position requiring strategic communications leadership, cross-functional partnership, and the ability to build sophisticated marketing infrastructure from the ground up. As Julie's direct supervisor during her tenure as AVP of Marketing and Communications at Wound Pros Management Group, I witnessed firsthand her exceptional ability to transform a nascent communications function into a strategic business asset. When Julie joined our organization, we had no formal communications infrastructure. She built it—from strategy to execution—with remarkable skill and vision.
Building Infrastructure That Scales
Julie's most significant achievement was the creation of Care Connect, our company's first intranet platform. What began as a concept became the authoritative source of information for 1,000+ employees across 24 states and internationally. Care Connect didn't just house content; it became our cultural hub connecting distributed teams, standardizing communications, and ensuring consistent messaging during both growth and challenging transitions. This platform became indispensable during our organization's wind-down, providing employees with timely, accurate, and compassionate information when they needed it most.
Sophisticated Digital Presence
Julie elevated our external brand significantly, transforming our website from a basic digital presence into a sophisticated platform that reflected our clinical excellence and market leadership. Her strategic approach to content. design, and user experience positioned Wound Pros as an industry leader and supported our business development efforts across all markets.
Cross-Enterprise Partnership
Perhaps most impressive was Julie's ability to build trusted partnerships across our Sales and Clinical organizations—two functions that don't always align easily with Marketing. She earned credibility through collaboration, delivering marketing materials, sales enablement tools, and clinical communications that genuinely served their needs. Her ability to translate complex clinical concepts into clear, compelling messaging made her an invaluable partner to both functions.
Strategic Communications Excellence
Julie possesses rare dual capability: strategic vision paired with hands-on execution excellence. She thinks like a senior leader while delivering like a craftsperson. Her writing is clear, compelling, and consistently on brand. Her judgment is sound. Her professionalism is unmatched. I recommend Julie without reservation. Any organization seeking to build or elevate their marketing and communications function would benefit immensely from her leadership, expertise, and collaborative approach.”

Letter of Recommendation
“I have had the pleasure of working with Julie Lenahan for over fifteen years. I have watched her skills and talent mature as she grew into her marketing and communication career. Julie’s dedication to the company and relentless pursuit of excellence have helped Dominion position itself as a respected organization.
Julie has developed all of Dominion’s Marketing and Training materials. She seeks input from the content experts and then presents the information in such a way to meet the needs of our various markets. Julie designed and redesigned Dominion’s website, produced sales materials to ensure Dominion has a cohesive message, and rebranded the material numerous times over the years. Julie has been responsible for all press releases and is the wordsmith that our executive team depends on to keep Dominion’s name and company at the forefront of our field.
Internally, Julie handles all employee communications, whether it is updating staff on relevant external information or internal changes within the organization. She serves on the wellness committee and has designed internal communication that motivates our employees to participate in the many wellness programs we offer. This program is so successful that we have been recognized six consecutive years as a RI Healthiest place to work. She organizes a week of activities we call “Merriment Week” every December as well as Lab Week every April. Engaging and keeping transparency in communication with our employees could not have been accomplished without her leadership.
Julie has touched every department in our organization and is an essential and respected member of Dominion’s management team. As she considers moving on in her career, her skills and talent will be an enormous loss to the organization. Any company that is successful in recruiting Julie will be hiring an exceptional, dedicated employee.
It is without hesitation that I can recommend her for any position in Marketing, communication, training and branding. Her skills and creativity are truly exceptional.”
