Bio
Phil Catelinet
Kerry is highly skilled at directing projects and operations on a large and small scale. I worked with him on a major desktop computer upgrade project with many complicated elements where he kept his team working efficiently and effectively with the rest of the IT department. I worked for Kerry on a datacenter migration that delivered major project milestones on time or early because he was able to multitask and direct resources where and when they were needed. It was a complex project with many moving parts and it was a success due in no small part to his excellent leadership. Kerry helps his staff to do their best work by allowing them to get things done without distraction and by encouraging a collaborative work environment. He is always willing to listen to different ideas and discuss possible solutions. He knows that his staff know their jobs and lets them do their duties with just the right amount of supervision. I thoroughly enjoyed having Kerry as a colleague for many years. He would be an outstanding asset to any organization.
