Greg's insightful approach to understanding our process flow yielded brilliant results for our organization. His IT knowledge base is extensive and proved to be a valuable resource. we will most definitely use his services in the future.
Source: LinkedIn Trey Dowdy Sep 27, 2012Greg is a seasoned business leader and effective communicator. As my Senior Project Manager, he was always ready and eager to take on new challenges, and without fail, he always over-delivered. Greg is a committed and loyal person and he deploys whatever necessary resources he has to efficiently and effectively complete the task/s at hand.
He is methodical and organized and is confident in his abilities to provide only high-quality deliverables. Greg can wear many hats: he has years of hands-on project management experience and also understands emerging technologies; he embraces them and takes on any challenge such technologies may pose during the course of his assignments. Greg is also an astute businessman, and he knows how to build and nurture relationships. He has a natural knack for developing plans to grow business and seamlessly manages the entire process. He's always looking for ways to improve the status quo.
Greg is also an easy-to-approach and easy-to-get-along-with person. He easily integrates into teams and collaborates well with his peers. He also works very well independently with very little or no supervision. In fact, once he's been briefed, or has collected the intelligence he needs to complete even the most complex and wide-ranging of tasks, he delivers on time and on budget. Overall, he's a well-rounded person and has a great attitude toward all that he does. He has a sense of affiliation vs. a sense of entitlement, toward his work and employer. Greg is truly a gem!
Would I hire him again? In half a heartbeat!
