To Whom It May Concern:
In my role as Information Technology Project Manager at GE Access, I was tasked with converting legacy Service Business into the Oracle Financials System. The project budget was approximately $2 million and consisted of over 15 developers with a duration of twelve months.
Mark quickly emerged as a leader among is peer group. He was highly successful in his role as Development Team Leader. Excellent communication and leadership skills created a highly functional team who accomplished a tremendous amount of quality work in very short timelines.
As this was my first major project, Mark acted as a mentor to me. His experience and expertise guided me to the successful completion of a very difficult task. I depended on him for coaching with regard to communication skills as well as strategy and vision creation.
The project had a large impact to the business. Therefore, there was pressure to implement quickly. The pre-chosen software did not accommodate functionality requirements. Mark presented several options with both pro and cons. This enabled executive management to make informed decisions with regard to customizations. Mark always explores every option without judgment.
Mark has the ability to transition from a technical role to a management role where appropriate. The skill to "bridge the gap" between the technical and the functional make him an excellent facilitator between IT and the business. Rarely does a person possess this exceptional talent.
Overall, Mark was a tremendous contributor to the success of the Service implementation. He successfully completes work either through individual effort or through the leadership of others. He works with the highest level of honesty and integrity. The quality of his work consistently exceeds expectations. I highly recommend him and any resource that he endorses.
