John Pichon

In my role as DataServices Team Lead at Citi bank's Prepaid Card division I have worked closely with Mark and his team. They have always provided excellent support to our needs. The DBA team has been very proactive in identifying potential future production issues and suggested solutions to prevent them. Additionally, when disaster has struck Mark's team has been very responsive and quick in rectifying the issue often times with no customer impact.
