Bio
Nivi Hayes, CMQ/OE, CQE
I had the pleasure of working with Tim when he was a Product Development Manager at Paladin. I was impressed with his ability to effectively manage and develop an engineering team across multiple facilities. As a Quality Manager, I particularly appreciated his ability to translate customer requirements and product quality into the product design, while maintaining the strategic vision of the company. I believe Tim would be an asset to any company's product development team, and would recommend him without any reservations.

Tim is dynamic, well-rounded, and adaptable. The first year and a half of my professional career I worked as a Product Engineer for Paladin Attachments with Tim Mulligan serving as my manager. Though we worked at different sites, we would have multiple meetings throughout each week during which I would report my progress on ongoing projects and propose new ideas to take on. Tim was always quick to provide constructive and valuable feedback for any situation. And for any new projects, he would clearly outline the scope but would give me the freedom to develop as an engineer. I’m glad to have worked with Tim and would absolutely recommend him for any managerial role.
