Bio
Jennifer Kilian
I had the opportunity to work with Brian on a large Salesforce/SAP project. Brian is a professional, thorough and collaborative team player. His knowledge of Salesforce is excellent and his ability to work with people of all backgrounds and roles is remarkable. He is very steady under pressure and is an extremely hard worker. He is reasonable, clear and an absolute pleasure to work with. He is equally strong in training, production support and testing. Any project or organization would be lucky to have Brian on their team - he brings out the best in all who work with him.

In the world of marketing automation, a relatively new discipline, there is a lot of room for lofty promises and audacious planning. Brian Parkinson is one of the few that keeps things real. He gets things done, ahead of schedule and with high quality. In the business world, he's a humble delivery man with senior management experience. He knows the obstacles and knows how to hurdle them in stride. We worked together in a luxurious 12x12 cube for about 3 months. I always looked forward to seeing him. Great charisma, very professional and 100% reliable. He was the first to arrive and the last to leave. If given the opportunity to work for/with Brian, I'd say without equivocation, "Go For it"! You'll learn a lot, grow a lot and have a great time winning.
