Bio
Chad Wilson
While working with Graeme, I was constantly in awe of his ability to learn and implement new solutions on the fly. Any time a new business challenge was introduced, Graeme would have a concept for a technical solution fleshed out in what seemed like no time at all. As a systems engineer, it was a pleasure to work with a director that was competent with the technology I was responsible for on the job and not just a manager of people. Graeme has a brilliant technical mind and is a fair and patient leader. Graeme would be a great addition to any team, be it technical, managerial or both.
Nathan Torinus, CFP®, MBA
Graeme is highly intelligent and a very capable problem solver on both the development and infrastructure sides of Information Systems. We worked on multiple projects as well as day-to-day challenges together, and I could count on him to grasp both the business case and the technical needs of any opportunity, and to move our systems to support the direction the business needed to go. I project Graeme as a valuable and effective senior component of a high functioning IS department like the ones he's built throughout his career.
