Thinking about all the hires I have made over the years, Rob Lawrence stands out as one of the most professional and capable. This was obvious to me from day one, and Rob never let me down. He completely transformed the QA function at Teletrol, and over time, he was promoted, and rightfully so, to be my peer on the management team. He is extremely skilled in quality analysis, and in creating processes to sort through and compress huge amounts of data , and then present the results into objective and actionable conclusions. I cannot conceive of an organization that would not be able to benefit from his expertise and experience.
