I worked with Scott at CRH Canada on the Performance Integration Project, which required a comprehensive understanding of the business to align CRH Canada reporting and KPIs to the US parent company. Scott was the Equipment Integration Lead on the project; whereby his business knowledge, analytical thinking and collaborative relationships enabled us to effectively implement meaningful KPIs, change management and training for the business. Scott worked very collaboratively with the project team and all business units across Canada, while continuing to manage multiple quarry locations during the project duration. Scott was very organized and productive under very strict and tight timelines. He was able to troubleshoot issues utilizing internal stakeholders to continue forging the project ahead. I would strongly recommend Scott and look forward to our paths crossing again.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott in the capacity of sales manager, covering a number of sites which he managed. Above all, I was always impressed with Scott’s ability to clearly articulate his goals and expectations. His willingness to develop a collaborative partnership with his suppliers to identify areas in which efficiency can be improved, while at the same time focusing on reducing operating costs, is second to none. Finally, any recommendation of Scott would be incomplete without mentioning his strong focus on both health and safety and environmental compliance. Scott would be a true asset to any organization and comes with my strong recommendation.
