Bio
Sam Thiara
I have had the pleasure of knowing Dee for the last many years and have appreciated the opportunities that he has created for himself and the organizations he has represented. Dee takes great care in building and fostering a positive experience and relationships are of importance to him. I feel that words like effective communicator, team player and business strategy are words to describe Dee. He wants to be sure to include people in the processes so they are part of the solution and has much to offer with his experiences and insight.

As a contractor I have had the pleasure of having Dee as our point contact for all matters related to strategy, leadership and contractual items. Dee is not only an HR expert but also an effective and an even-handed collaborator and leader. His humor, his skill and consistent focus achieved win-win company objectives. The benefits of his work are set to contribute long term value for all stakeholders.
