I have enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Rich over the last six years that he has been part of my team. He has an excellent balance of professional IT skills, married to an agreeable attitude that resonates with the internal IT customer; Zero end user complaints in the time he has worked for me. Rich has extremely broad IT Networking skills. During his time on my team, Rich managed a small group of other technical resources and was well respected as their leader. However, he is a tactical and hands-on leader. We have worked together on standing up new infrastructure in Asia, multiple domestic acquisitions and divestures and numerous IT system integrations. I believe Rich is at a point in his career that he could either continue to develop his IT networking and Infrastructure skills at a more specialized level within a larger organization, or alternatively leveraging the interpersonal and general business skills he possesses and move into a more expansive IT leadership role (VP IT) at a mid-size company. I would highly recommend hiring Rich, and should I have the opportunity again in the future to do so, I would in a minute!
