Peter Quinn
To whom it may concern: Rich and I have worked together in different capacities over the last several years. He is an excellent financial leader. I highly recommend Rich to any company. As our financial controller he showed good business acumen, solid judgement and a commitment. Rich and his team consistently delivered clear and concise forecasts and recommendations. The analysis was thorough and well thought out and his opinions were balanced. Even dealing with a significant amount of resource reductions and an ever changing business landscape, Rich always maintained a positive attitude. I relied on Rich extensively during the partial divestiture of our business. They were difficult times and without his contribution it wouldn't have been successful. His experience, poise and ability to deliver under pressure is what will make him a great addition to your team. If you have any further questions about Rich, please feel free to email me at peteq@us.ibm.com Sincerely,

I have worked with Rich for roughly 5 yrs. Rich has always displayed solid and sound financial acumen. He always projects a calm and professional manner in all situations and can quickly assess the needs of any tasks. Rich can also manage very effectively and knows when to become more involved with his team or when to be more hands off allowing others to research, learn, and grow. Rich would be a valued member to any financial team at any level and in any industry, he takes the time to understand the business and what is needed to drive results from financial and non-financial organizations.
