Scott Pimley, Ph.D.

During my tenure at iSKY I managed Farooq in his position as a data analyst. Farooq is very bright, and did a great job with providing high quality data. He knows a great deal about statistical analysis and interpreting market research findings. He is very organized and was always willing to jump in and help as needed. Given the opportunity, I would welcome the opportunity to hire Farooq in the future.
