I have known Gary from a business perspective for approximately 7+ years and have worked with him as a peer in a number of roles I held at Mincom. Gary is a capable, hard working executive, who exhibited exceptional strengths in the strategic and tactical management of his sales, consulting and support organisations in Latin America. Gary has established and maintains many executive level contacts in the LAM region. He has excellent knowledge of the mining industry and relationships to support these. Gary is a team player and was a respected and valued member of the Mincom field operations executive team.

I worked with Gary in the same Management team for 2 years. Gary had an incredible amount of industry knowledge and a network in Mining and associated industries at very senior levels that any firm would value very highly. Gary was honest, forthright and strong team player. He is considered in his decision making and understands the nuances of different global markets. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary and would welcome the opportunity of working with Gary again.
