Bio
Ravit Yanay
As a direct manager Conor was especially pleasant to work with. He managed to give me the freedom that I needed to achieve goals but at the same time was always there for support. A quality often rare in managers, Conor empowers all of his staff and is particularly aware of team spirit, motivation and quality.
Ted Sudol
I worked with Conor from April 1996 until May 2000. In that time, Conor earned a promotion to manager and took on ever-increasing responsibilities and staff. Conor proved himself to be a rare and unique talent. When asked to devise a program or plan to achieve specific objectives, the solution he provided was always complete in every detail. Not only does he have the ability to envision and communicate such plans, he is able to work closely with others to ensure timely and flawless implementation. Conor possesses a high degree of personal integrity. He is always very sincere and straightforward in his communications. I consider myself fortunate to have worked so closely with such a talented individual and, without any reservation, offer my highest recommendation.
