Bio
Tim Houlihan
It was a great day when Ray joined the Reward Systems Group as he brought with him an excellent work ethic, in-depth product knowledge, familiarity with selling technical solutions, strong experience in responding to objections (especially regarding price and deliverables), and a commitment to high quality interactions with his internal and external clients. On top of that, he has a dry sense of humor and serves the team generously by volunteering for ad hoc projects (that he magically fits into a normally busy schedule). He's a can-do guy and takes his commitments seriously. Ray has my highest recommendation for a team member and thought leader that digs in, works collaboratively, delivers strong results, and does so with excellent interpersonal skills. He's a joy to work with because of this combination of being a contributor and a supporter and in the end, Ray is a guy to count on.
Michelle Culp
Ray is a talented "translator" and negotiator and a genuine person who cares about the people he works with and for. He's skilled at translating complicated technology requirements into understandable solutions that enable internal and external customer initiatives. I learned a great deal about successful negotiation by working along side Ray and appreciate his work ethic. He's an asset to any organization he commits to.
