In 2019, Natalie was named a "Woman Worth Watching" by Diversity Journal. Of her leadership philosophy, she wrote: "Every time you lift another, your career and your legacy are strengthened. Letting others stand on your shoulders is the only way to truly develop them; it is the hallmark of great leaders and great organizations."
