Ben Serres is a very talented professional consultant who served as my deputy team lead for our Communications, Documentation Management, and Technical Writing service unit. Not only did he demonstrate strong team and personnel management skills, he was also one of my strongest and most reliable team members. He never hesitated to chip in to handle complex tasks, and he consistently delivered very high-quality work products to our clients. Nearly every client he was assigned to support would later contact me personally to praise his work. I nicknamed him "my Ronco" because I could "set him and forget him" knowing that he would perform well Ben is diligent, calm, professional, and has a broad range of hard and soft consulting skills that added real value to our team and to our client. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
