Raymond was a pleasure to work with as a partner/customer. He has an extremely professional manner and approach that at once represents his company's tremendous calibre, but also helps to create engagement and trust. He was a tremendous resource and source of guidance as a business partner, helping us to engage his organization in meaningful ways. Thank you, Raymond, for your transparency and support! It was a pleasure to work with you.

Raymond was my manager. I was at the time the Senior Technical Leader for the Toronto Innovation Centre, which is part of Cisco's Strategic Innovation Group (CSIG). Raymond was leading a global team of technical specialists dedicated to building solutions that bring together customers, sales, internal engineering teams and external partners. Raymond had been both a mentor and a friend to me. I was new to the company, and he did everything he could to help me build my network and get visibility for my successes. He always displayed great sensitivity to cultural matters, and is probably one of the most empathic managers I ever had. At the same time, he inspired us to do our best. Raymond has a balanced mix of business and technical skills that enabled him to be a very effective stakeholder and adviser. His feedback on our projects was always concise and to the point. In my opinion, Raymond is an effective leader because he makes others around him grow.
