Jeff Abernathy

I have worked with Russ at Deloitte Consulting, Tactica Technology Group as well as Hitachi Consulting. Russ is that rare individual that has extremely deep technology skills, proven business skills, and executive level leadership skills. He also has uncompromisable ethics and is great to work with. Russ has been successful in every environment in which he has worked.

I’ve worked with Russ on a number of different engagements. Russ has the unique ability to combine very strong technical acumen with great business sense and awareness. His ideas are both innovative and practical and his organizational skills allow good ideas to be converted to real solutions. I hope to cross paths with Russ many more times throughout my career.
