Bio
Rich Platia
I have known Charlie and had the pleasure of working with him in the past. Charlie is a natural leader with outstanding people skills and the ability to overcome any obsticale before him. Charlie would compliment any company as a member of their organization
Suzanne Bourdeaux
Charlie is a dedicated team player who can always be counted on, whether in routine daily operations or in the heat of a crisis. As my colleague in charge of Technical Support, Charlie and I had many opportunities to work together for the good of the company and our customers. He is talented at designing processes to increase team effectiveness, and he is intrinsically "team-minded" in his approach to challenges. Calm in a crisis, and quietly good-natured, he is an asset as a leader of technical and customer-oriented teams.
