Bob Currier
I have worked with Randy Brant since 2010. He is an outstanding project manager. He has a great technical background which he blends with excellent soft skills turning him into the type of PM that can handle anything. On top of that, Randy is a quality person who would enhance any organization. He is a pleasure to work with and always goes the extra mile. The best recommendation I can give is that I would work with Randy on any project, anytime, anywhere!
Drew Smith
I worked with Randy for over 10 years at HPE and Mercury. Over this time Randy was both a direct and indirect report and was a stand out Solutions Architect and Project Manager, both within our Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) practice and later as a cross-portfolio project and program manager. Randy has an attention to detail that is second to none, advocates for his customers while still understanding the business aspects of consulting, and importantly, delivers successful customer engagements. Randy was my go-to PM for our most important and challenging projects and brings a balanced skillset of knowledge, softskills, and business understanding to the role. Randy is an exceptional PM, leader, and quickly builds trust with both coworkers and customers. He's a great addition to any team.
