Bio
Scott Ross
I worked with Chuck for 8 years at Sharp, and found him to be one the most capable, hard working, customer focused, and downright approachable IT leaders I ever worked with. Chuck constantly kept our team and our systems moving forward; he was never satisfied with the status quo and was always looking for ways we could improve and expand the services we provided. His deep experience and ability to master completely new (to us) systems and technologies quickly were critical to the many successes we had together at Sharp Labs. I also have to say his troubleshooting skills are second-to-none; when a user finds a novel way to bring your network to a halt, he is the one person you want around to find and fix the problem fast.

Chuck is a marvel of efficiency and big-picture thinking. Every day Chuck resolves critical, often complex, IT challenges within minutes of being ticketed. And his determination to keep things running smoothly doesn't distract him from his vision for larger more complex system optimization projects. He motivated, architected, and deployed a company-wide software development infrastructure (VCS, CMS, and Issue-Tracker) that is directly responsible for the success of my data mining efforts at Sharp Labs. And senior managers at Sharp Labs have told me that his system is increasing efficiency and communication for developers across the enterprise. Chuck's hard work and visionary thinking will bear fruit for years to come by increasing our bottom-line financial performance.
