Bio
Harry Bodan
I worked with Ramon for over 4 years during which time he proved to be a dedicated, hard working, and valuable thought partner on our team. He demonstrated that he was both a capable leader and an engaged participant in all areas of his work. Some of Ramon’s best attributes include his attention to detail, results oriented and strategic mind-set, and original perspective when looking at an issue. Most importantly, however, Ramon understands the value of building good will with colleagues, business partners, and clients alike and built a admirable reputation during his tenure.
