Bio
Mary Romeo
Alonzo is a results oriented collaborator that creates win-win situations for companies by bringing together ideas and strategies for measured results. I had multiple opportunities to work with Alonzo helping customers across many industries. He invigorated a culture of customer service for both profit and non-profit organizations through facilitating change management. He helped several companies boost their bottom line profits by identifying and eliminating waste. Alonzo is always well-prepared and provides a clear vision of what he wants as results for his customers. He helped a customer leadership team develop a refined strategy which boosted them to become an industry leader. Over the years we worked together, he always showed-up with passion, and dedication to deliver and then made it happen. You can't go wrong contracting Alonzo if you want real results.

Alonzo always cast a vision, focused with passion on customers, on our development, and solving problems that helped our customers and our company grow, which was critical to our ultimate success. I look forward to keeping him as a mentor and watching him take on limitless possibilities.
