Bio
David Belcore
To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of working with Christal Salazar for a year and half at International Game Technology in the Accounts Receivable department, where she has been entrusted with a notable amount of responsibility requiring precise execution, decisive judgment and ability to explain and if necessary illustrate aspects of her work. Christal is a quick study and adapts to change easily; she has shown her ability to comprehend legal contracts and apply the terms and conditions of such agreements to leasing, subscription, billing plans and other applications. I have had the opportunity to observe Christal’s professionalism on many occasions as well as her interpersonal characteristics. She is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. Presentations and proposals for adopting new processes are articulately presented and thoroughly explained so as to leave no doubt what the benefit will be from the new method. This rising stars desire for knowledge is intriguing, as she moves through the various departments expanding her knowledge, those that she leaves behind will truly miss her, and those who are about to receive her will meet a hardworking, friendly person. I wish her the absolute best in her future endeavors wherever they might take her. Sincerely, David C Belcore Senior Client Manager International Game Technology
