Ken Wheatley MA, CPP

My staff and I have enjoyed working with Brian for several years in support of his various responsibilities at Sony. I've always been impressed with the time and effort he expends to maintain collaborative relationships with the various business groups. He clearly understands that financial and operational success in a matrix culture requires mutually beneficial relationships. He's also well-known in the company as the go-to problem solver, firefighter, and turn-around specialist.

Clarity of thinking, and crisp analytical judgment are hallmarks of Brian's thought process. Brian has a strong intellectual curiosity that fuels his analytical approach, and enjoys discussing various points of view when solving problems. I always enjoyed solving business problems and looking for new opportunities with Brian.
