Tiffany Fortune, SHRM-SCP, LSSBB

I am extremely pleased to provide a recommendation for Scott Geller. Scott and I worked collaboratively at Fusion, An Allianz Company for 7 years and I found him a conscientious and very hard working professional. One of the main reasons Scott and I have been successful co-workers on almost every project that the company entrusted us with is his ability to delve into details. In his role as our Finance Officer, he came across many challenges and tackled them head-on with success. Scott has an innate ability to chart out our limitations. Scott is an accomplished multi-tasker who ensures the efficacy of many projects. I am positive about his ability to undertake even the most complex of work. I believe Scott will greatly contribute to any organization that he joins and/or represents.

Randy Hill

I am Randy Hill, former CTO/CIO at Fusion Company. I have known and worked with Scott for 7 years as a peer on the senior leadership team at Fusion Company, where his chief responsibility was Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer. My team and I worked directly with Scott to develop the yearly budget for infrastructure. Scott asked the tough budgeting questions and was always fair with my team on determining the budget. I also worked closely with Scott in two other areas: commercial pricing models and legal contract review. I worked with Scott to develop fixed and variable costs that he utilized in the commercial pricing models he created. We also worked together in contract review to understand technical feasibility of client requests. In all instances, whether it was budgeting, commercial pricing, or contract review, Scott was always fair but he also always looked after the best interest of the organization first. It was not just these daily interactions that impressed me, however. Scott has many leadership qualities which he successfully used to fulfill his responsibilities at Fusion Company. I was impressed by Scott’s dedication to helping our organization succeed, as well as his efforts in facilitating teamwork within the organization. There were times that my team had an unplanned technology expense which negatively impacted the company’s overall budget. Scott was always very professional with my team in these cases and his willingness to help us with suggestions kept us, and the organization, on our planned budget. As the Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer, Scott used his overall knowledge to help our company make good decisions. I am confident that Scott would be a positive contributor for your organization. If you need additional information, do not hesitate to contact me at randal.e.hill@gmail.com.
