Bio
Rob Pennington
I have worked with Joel at NeIC since I began to work with NeIC in 2015. He has been an excellent source of technical expertise on the topics of project management and distributed collaboration tools, has consistently applied these skills very effectively in his work and has been happy to share his knowledge with me and others at NeIC. He communicates very well and is both persuasive and open minded in discussions. Joel has excellent documentation and organizational skills and is able to structure, present and carry through a project, addressing the relevant details and as well as the larger goals and vision that are needed for a successful project. In addition to his work on researcher focused projects, his thorough and thoughtful efforts on stakeholder engagement have resulted in an impressive structure and tools that can serve as an exemplar for other organizations. The framework that he has set up for this is well-documented and requires very low overhead for stakeholder tracking and monitoring for the wide range range of engagements that NeIC is involved with. Joel has been direct in all of his interactions with me and he has conducted himself with integrity at all times. He has been an outstanding colleague and he has my highest recommendation.

I had (and have) the pleasure to work with Joel within the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC). When I have started as project manager leading the CodeRefinery project, it was Joel who got me up to speed and mentored me in project management techniques. Later we have worked together both on administrative (program committee for the NeIC 2017 conference) and technical projects (restructuring of the main NeIC web site) and interacted in many meetings. Joel taught me more about efficient management than any book or course. He is a well connected, pragmatic, and solution-oriented person who gets things done and solves problems. He taught me how to streamline my workflows and communication routines, how to ask the right questions to the right people and how to remove obstacles and get things done. He has the vision and the stamina to implement novel technical and organizational solutions for entire organizations. Joel taught me the value of documentation, transparency, and stakeholder engagement. Joel has my highest recommendations.
