Bio
Kate M. Walsh
I have worked with Joe now for several months on a very large project. The size and scope of the project can't be understated: it spans dozens of sites, dozens of stakeholders, and hundreds of moving parts. Joe is attentive to detail and strongly organized. His abilities in keep things moving and on task are excellent. He follows up on work and tickets and juggles dozens of tasks seemingly effortlessly. Interfacing between clients and developers, Joe is always very clear in his direction, investigating requirements, and a broad variety of work related to managing stakeholders, expectations, developers, workloads, and basically everything. Joe is easy to work with. He makes you feel appreciated for the work that you do -- he is always quick with the thanks and praise. He is also very funny and always a pleasure to work with.

Joe is a phenomenal project manager: organized, reliable, and very mindful of clients needs. Having been his client across several projects, I can attest that he's always been outstanding at helping us achieve our goals. He balances our needs with his team's capacity to make sure quality results are delivered on time. I've worked with a lot of project managers with many agencies and partners, and I know I can always count on Joe.
