Bio
Joseph J. Battaglia
I am writing this message to highly recommend Ms Melinda Estevez for a position as Administrative Assistant to any executive level leader, not only in the Defense and Aerospace industry, but in virtually any sector of the business community. Ms Estevez is highly skilled, very professional, extremely adept at using the latest computer applications of any type, very reliable, and extremely loyal. Prior to my announcing my retirement, Melinda worked for me for 7 years and was certainly among the top Executive Assistants that I have known over my entire 52+ year. career. In addition, Ms. Estevez provided guidance and day-to-day direction for a number of other Administrative Assistants who worked for my Direct Reports (COO, CFO, CTO, CIO, etc.). Melinda will be a valuable asset to any organization where she is employed.
