Ian came in as a consultant to pick up Operations support with me. He was able to quickly understand our business processes and integrate with the business teams. He is easy going and at the same time very professional. He brought good experience and suggestions for businesses process and technology needs. He was a fun partner and I would welcome him back in the future.

I worked with Ian closely for a fortune 100 company for over 5 years collaborating on several challenging projects. Ian is among some of the best Oracle functional resources I have had the pleasure of working with. He is very strategic and super efficient with all his designs. I would recommend him wholeheartedly for his expertise. He would be an asset to any team.
