Phil's both deliverable and methodology driven approach have ensured the completion of CheckFree PaymentView project. It was fortunate to have the 100% support from Phil both from organizational level as well as persoanl level toward the project as well as the team.

Phil was a great Director to work for. His no-nonsense approach was refreshing and it produced results. Phil's office was always open for his direct reports and all his employees, and he often held departmental meetings which kept the team involved. I learned a lot from Phil, especially how to analyze situations from all directions before making difficult decisions. I would recommend Phil for any director level or above position in a Quality Assurance or Process organization.
