Adam Fell Vice President, Quincy Jones Productions
When she joins your effort – and marshals her small team – you will be getting someone who has both the passion and the talent to make things happen…. She worked seamlessly with our entire team, including significant direct work with my boss, Quincy Jones, and extended our reach while we were in the studio nearly 20 hours a day.. She managed the relationship with Coca-Cola and personally oversaw the content for their nationwide billboards; she and her team developed content for online marketing spots; she found our pro bono legal team and even fast-tracked the text message giving program. In my world, I challenge myself every day to increase my efficiency. And some of my most enduring and productive collaborations have come from the good fortune of finding the right partners. Working with Alexis has been a veritable joy for me. |

Alexis Denny Kaufmann exploded into my life when as a smooth talking smart walking American business woman she came over to meet me at the BBC – her mission to pick a fight with me! Actually, in truth, to allow me to buy a fight from her – Riddick Bowe’s latest defence of his World Heavyweight Title. She was tough, fair and honest and we concluded the deal (she probably thought she had won on points!). Seriously I have dealt with Alexis on several issues over a number of years, her business acumen and her hard grafting professionalism is matched by her grace as a human being. She is a person it’s a pleasure to do business with – in a world where sometimes being a female means you have to punch every ounce of your weight – and more. |

… she was introduced to the male-only inner world of boxing, and through her entrepreneurialism and inventiveness she quickly became a key figure in it. You could make a fair case that for as long as she wanted to be, Alexis was the most powerful woman in boxing.” |

Rock Newman Boxing Promoter & Chairman, Rock Newman Companies The first thing that comes to mind is her uncompromising commitment to be honorable. As the CEO of a sports enterprise that is global in scope, I have had the advantage and good fortune to observe Ms. Denny interact with people from every continent on the planet. They all came away from their experiences with her desiring that she remain a part of their lives. Whether she was facilitating a meeting with President Nelson Mandela or orchestrating our audience with Pope John Paul in Rome, we who have been touched by the Alexis hurricane are in awe of the path she blazes. |

Oliver Herrgesell Executive VP, RTL Group “Alexis Denny is a delivery-person.” “One of my first experiences with her was she offering me an interview with Jesse Jackson on the very day of the L.A. Riots. I had not asked for her support on this story but her company Media Plus was, at the time, working on several other projects in the USfor our program. My team still discussed what we could do – and there she was with the best possible solution. She just had understand my needs and delivered a surprise bonus. So Jackson commented the riots on CNN and on the small, international unknown German TV show I was responsible for. This was the scoop of the day in German television and Alexis made it happen without being asked.” “Alexis is professional, reliable, tough, honest and has great contacts in the world of sports and media at least. She is a person of integrity, and together with her company Media Plus she rather over-delivers. She never failed to deliver something that she had promised. And, it is great fun working with her.” “Alexis arbeitet höchst professionell, verlässlich, selbstständig und ehrlich. Sie hat hervorragende Kontakte, u.a. in der Welt des Sports und der Medien. Sie ist eine durchweg integre Persönlichkeit. Mit Ihrem Unternehmen Media Plus hat sie immer gehalten, was zugesagt war und sogar mehr als gefordert geliefert. Mit ihr zu arbeiten, ist ein Vergnügen. “ |

Elias Messinas President, Eco-Week “Alexis Denny Kaufmann knows how to get things done in many countries of the world. When we wanted to bring Al Gore to Greece for our Eco-Week event, she offered invaluable insight and knowledge as to how we could manage the process with the US representatives, and how to maximize our effectiveness in Greece. She brought a world-class approach to our national endeavor.” |

Cathy BlackProducer, CBS News, “The Early Show” “I just wanted to send you a HUGE “Thank You” for putting us in touch with Alexis (for Lenny Kravitz’ live telecast from Paris). She was simply AMAZING! Our audience was the best and I know she worked really hard on putting all of the pieces in place…and all the while with two broken fingers! I truly appreciated her hustle and her desire to jump right in wherever needed. I’d love to work with her again. “ |
