Joining Dr. Crystal Boson's team 3 years ago at DoorDash was one of the best decisions of my career. I cannot imagine a more brilliant partner or visionary leader to build our learning design team from the ground up. Crystal is truly one of a kind—she combines immense intelligence, kindness, thoughtfulness, and a wholesome humanity, making her the most impactful person I've ever had the privilege to work with. From day one, I was in awe of her unmatched strategic acumen and hands-on approach, which have been pivotal in transforming our global Learning & Development team's ability to tackle challenges and innovate within our field.
One of Crystal’s many superpowers is her strategic leadership, seamlessly blended with her ability to operate as an Individual Contributor (IC) when needed, setting an exemplary standard for all. Her remarkable talent for leveraging each team member's unique strengths has led to globally impactful solutions and nurtured an inclusive culture that champions collaboration and continuous improvement.

I had the chance to work with Crystal for 2+ years at DoorDash. She was always an incredible partner who not only was able to produce great content rapidly but also synthesize incredibly complex topics into messaging that would resonate with employees. Over the course of the two years she was able to build an incredible archive of work that we drew on for future projects to help us become more and more efficient each year. She cares deeply about the work she produces and pays attention to all the details to ensure what is produced is of the highest quality. She was one of my favorite L&D partners that I have worked with and would highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about creating impactful programs.
