Anthony was the Sr Mgr on the Deloitte engagement prior to MTSI going public. He was a valuable asset to the project and displayed all the leadership qualities that you'd expect from an up and coming leader. I wish him much continued success.

Bruno Drummond

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Strong at Deloitte where we both focused on IFRS to US-GAAP implementation. While working with Mr. Strong I was very impressed by his exceptional leadership skills and in depth understanding of the bridging process between US-GAAP to IFRS. I highly recommend Mr. Strong for all future endeavors.
