Bio
Stefano Torelli
I worked with Gerard for about 3 years when I was leading the Cloud and Managed Services business and he was working as Senior NOC Engineer Gerard quite senior engineer and for sure is one of the pillars for the NOC operation team. He is always working hard, bringing results, and achieving his objectives on time and with quality. He is extremely professional and his availability makes him quite appreciated by colleagues (especially regional organization) and customers. He fully deserves the trust managers are putting on him. Gerard is quite good in report analysis: he plays with numbers easily and was perfect supporting management in the huge task of organizing the team reporting system and the data analysis from company ERP. He is capable to present results and justify reports, with excellent presentation skills even in front of senior mamagers. As senior engineer he played his role of "Managed Service guru" perfectly, being capable to work on process and procedures to make sure the service can be delivered with no issues and according to contractual SLA. A key soft skill I appreciate in him is the commitment and availability: Gerard is always willing to help, and for this reason he is often recognized by colleagues and managers as reference. Last but not least he has a quite nice sense of humour, which helps in an operation team where the stress can affect the operations and the team mood. I also think he has the potential to cover even more complex roles. I recommend Gerard for any role where reliability, structure and process orientation is needed.
