Pred & I worked closely together on several challenging global projects. I really appreciated working with Pred - he made a huge difference and positive contribution to our work. He has an unsurpassed understanding of both the technical and people side of HR. This means he is the one who "gets it" and can bring clarity and concrete solutions to the hardest problems. Pred is highly respected, a strong communicator and absolutely a pleasure to work with.
