Art has outstanding managerial skills. Art and I worked together at WW, and he was the guy I turned to for all must-solve problems. Art was able to give the appropriate level of attention to the information technology requirements of the business while also being entrusted with navigating a number of hurdles with soft skills. Art's excellent people skills are a perfect complement to the management competencies he possesses.
