Mark Eisner
George is a great client to work for. He is very diligent and resourceful and adept at managing both the client and the vendors. This enabled us to deliver a timely, robust and insightful research project. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Robert Cook
It is a pleasure to recommend George. As a peer of George at VeriFone he demonstrated excellent market knowledge and the ability to translate that knowledge into tangible results. He has the unique ability to garner employee consensus and encourage creativity. I was always impressed with his focus on execution as all the creativity and great plans are for not unless they can be executed effectively.
