I’ve worked with Joel for over 10 years. We’ve both worked in different capacities within Information Technology over the years but often ended up working as colleagues tasked with complex projects and tasks. Joel has always excelled at executing on key and important, time sensitive tasks. He has shown the highest degree of competency at data analysis and analytics, establishing himself as the go-to person within IT for the service delivery metrics of the department and other related programs. He has also served as a key point person in helping the IT department establish a formal Customer Satisfaction Management program. Joel’s ability to be given direction, ask the right questions, and produce the desired output while also anticipating additional value added items that weren’t initially perceived have consistently put him a cut above the rest. Beyond his analytics and business analysis skill set, Joel is simply a good person and colleague. He understands the importance of team work and communication. He’s able to lead when the opportunity presents itself and warrants his leadership but also able to step back and be a solid contributor when warranted as well. It is my professional opinion that any organization would be fortunate to have Joel as a key player within their organization.
