I had the greatest pleasure of working with Tibor at Alcatel. He is definitely all-around individual with extensive industry experience in telecommunication. With deep knowledge in quality and productengineering, he was a great asset to the team. Looking forward to working with him in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Tibor while at RIM. He is an intelligent, resourceful and dynamic individual with extensive industry experience. He is very skilled at creating and maintaining customer relationships and I got to experience that first hand during a business trip to one of the AT&T distribution centers. He is highly viewed and appreciated among his peers and leadership across all functional groups at RIM, for his can do attitude, proven aptitude to drive results and his knowledge. Tibor will have a benefic impact in any organization and be a key member in any team.
