Bio
Darrel Raynor
Shail came on board to Rational Software, now an IBM entity, as a bright-eyed intern. He quickly learned what was important to projects from many of our Sr. Project and Program Managers. He interacted very professionally with me, then his Sr. Director on a number of small but important process improvement, analysis, and always assisted ably. Shail was a quick learner, kind to all, with a keen wit and great work ethic. We have faded in and out of touch over the years, and all reports on Shail from shared contacts have been good. He is progressing in his career and has proven trustworthy and able in an number of areas. Darrel Raynor, PMP, MBA
