Gary Sievert
I'm extremely pleased and excited to have been asked to write a recommendation for Shawn! I have had the distinct pleasure to have worked closely with Shawn as a member of the Leadership team for approximately 13 years at Wellington Industries. During that time, I have been and continue to be impressed with Shawn's wide range of skills and abilities. Beginning with his vast and in-depth IT knowledge, his analytical, communication, leadership skills have made Shawn an invaluable asset to the Wellington organization. A relevant example of Shawn's strong leadership and guidance, was his herculean effort and passion when he led the organization and its three facilities to obtain our IATF certification in 2019, no small feat to be sure! His ongoing 'out of the box' mindset as it relates to technology innovation and implementation has allowed Wellington to become a world class leader in the area of education and training for both new and senior employees. Given Shawn's, passion, enthusiasm, dedication and his uncanny ability to articulate to non IT professional's the importance of technology and it's advantages to day to day business advancements, would allow him to be an exceptional addition to any organization! If you need additional information as it relates to Shawn please don't hesitate to contact me @ 734-752-0449. Sincerely, Gary Sievert Director, HR Wellington Industries
