Starting a Service Company

As Interim CEO, Sean quickly simplified our pricing and service delivery, which dramatically increased our close rate and improved our relationship with customers. I've found him to be disciplined and rigorous, but at the same time flexible, empathetic and kind with both employees and vendors. He took over during a challenging time, and ensured the transition in (and out) of his role was smooth. I trust him implicitly, and would work with him again in an instant.

Sean did an excellent job in helping to develop and manage our software and services business. He was creative and responsive, and demonstrated strong strategic thinking capabilities. I strongly recommend Sean as valuable partner in any business endeavor.

OK, we all take these writings with a grain of salt, as well we should. I have never worked with Sean as a client, or a vendor, or a competitor. I wasn't his best friend in grade or high school, nor his best man at his wedding. I'm someone who met Sean because we both live in Seattle, have an avid interest in ham radio (nerd alert!) and like a certain antenna system. So with that grain of salt, here's what I say about Sean: I've met few fast-track business people who value his business success on a par with his family, employees, and clients like Sean. He has a genuine deep interest in learning and helping others. His passion is work and not work, so he's really well balanced. He seems to be incredibly devoted to the success of his clients, not only in the projects his firm is involved in, but overall to boot. As I've said, I'm not a client, best friend forever, or paid shill. Just another marketer who thinks amateur radio is still pretty cool and found another guy who doesn't wear a belt AND suspenders. Sean is one good guy!

Sean is one of the brightest and most focused people that I know. What is best about this is that he is one of those few individuals who is bright, focused, and clearly for the good. With these attributes you know you can count on him to solve problems, cover your back, and (quite likely when appropriate) become your friend.

There are very few C-Level entrepreneurs in the hi-tech space that may have
been able to build Microsoft better than Gates did. Sean is on that list. Sean has a keen
sense of intuition that enables him to see beyond the surface, accurately diagnose core issues,
clearly communicate his thoughts, and creatively offer and deliver effective solutions. I've personally seen
him do this dozens of times.

I highly recommend Sean for a quick and successful impact on a company's development culture, development capabilities and ability to roll out technology initiatives. He brings the strategy and vision, finds the right people who can deliver, and then lets them deliver the goods. Feel free to contact me for examples of the work we accomplished at Watterson~Prime.

Sean offers to his clients a unique combination of his pleasant personality, consummate professionalism, deep and broad technical expertise and enterprise level project management experience. Having worked with IT professionals and IT consultants around the world for 3 decades, I have a sincere appreciation for the value of Sean's professional and personal attributes.

Sean is a very talented IT leader capable of analyzing and solving complex business and technology problems. Sean combines excellent business, analytical and managerial skills with as serious as it gets hands-on IT experience. He is resourceful and efficient, comfortable working with local and global teams, which allows him to tap into best talent and to deliver the best value to the customer.

Sean is truly one of the most talented people I have ever met. He combines an extraordinary understanding of technology with a remarkable ability to apply that knowledge in practical, results-oriented ways. He has a genuine facility at very quickly assessing the business needs of a company and developing and implementing solutions that work. Most highly recommended.

Sean is among the five smartest people I know and trust. He is an outstanding individual with an exemplary disposition and dazzling wit. Combining a high degree of ethical responsibility with the skill of influence, Sean stays true to the idea of positive success for all. Sean thrives on challenge and constantly seeks improvement. I confidently endorse Sean in any role - he will succeed at all.
