I have had the opportunity to have worked with Erick for over 12 months at Rentokil North America, His contribution in guiding, coordinating and successfully managing the massive RNA Transformation program at Rentokil has been incredibly valuable and has set up the organization to be successful in that space going forward. In the role of change, service transition/ test and release manager, Erick worked closely with my team in collaborating and bringing this project to fruition. Erick's skill was in understanding the requirements of this program, and collaborating with all IT M & A teams, Business Partners, QA Teams, Vendors and cross team collaboration with global teams. Erick was able to help us overcome many pain points during this project and his calm demeanor is definitely an asset in a face paced IT environment. Erick strengths also involved pulling together teams at short notice and reporting on the projects on a biweekly basis to the leadership team. He helped negotiate many challenges with the vendor teams during this program implementation successfully. Erick would be an asset to any team or organization with his immense strengths and program management skill set. Thank You Swati Nirodi Agile Project Manager, CSM, ITIL Certified.
