Bio
Ray Solis
Bob is an excellent Manager. He was brought into the company during one of the most challenging circumstances our Scrum Team had encountered. In this space, he was able to execute with clear presence of mind and provide guidance and mentorship for a best path forward for the Team. As others have mentioned, Bob is very knowledgeable and has a calm, composed, and methodical way of approaching problems. I am thankful for all of the support he has given both to the Scrum Team and to myself.

Bob and I have worked together on mission critical engagements in the Configure Price Quote (CPQ) space that were based on complex requirements and required careful management of vendors and suppliers. Working with Bob is a positive experience. He sees the bigger picture and can also related what is being asked to him to context and strategy. He holds himself and others accountable on commitments and deadlines. Truly Mr. Dependable and Reliable. A great team player and a person who helped deliver on my promises as a business stakeholder. All the best to you Bob!
