Bio
Chicke Fitzgerald
Jody and I worked together at SITA on the roll out of the assets of the not-for-profit company into Equant, a for-profit entity that was ultimately acquired by Orange. We also worked together when he was General Counsel at Equant. Jody is an attorney, but more importantly is one of the most sound business people that I know. His calm demeanor, his logical thought process and attention to detail, his ability to assess risk and his ability to see around business barriers is a killer combination. Since our experience nearly 20 years ago at SITA and Equant, I have vowed that one day we would work together. Jody's business ethics and his positive approach to business growth makes him the perfect business advisor to my company.
Paul J. Voss, Ph.D.
Jody's impressive history--lawyer, entrepreneur, executive, consultant, IT expert--makes him uniquely qualified to solve problems in creative, intelligent, and profitable ways. I've known Jody for a number years and can attest to his character, integrity, professionalism, fortitude, and prudence. I recommend him with the highest possible confidence and without the slightest reservation.
