Mark Cole
Tim built a comprehensive, industry-leading Quality Assurance function at CredAbility that produced superior customer satisfaction scores and outcomes. He is a bright, detailed-oriented person who always delivers key projects on-time and under budget. During the 7 years we worked together, Tim was one of my most trusted advisors because he consistently provided me an objective view of our organizational strengths and weaknesses. Well-liked and respected by his peers, he is equally comfortable having tough conversations about needed improvements and offering words of encouragement.

It was an honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Tim in his role as VP of Programs for ASTD Atlanta in 2008. Going into the year it was the postion in my role as President that I was most concerned about. Thanks to Tim's performance it turned into the position that earned awards and recognition for the chapter. He arranged outstanding programs, built a team to support his work and helped make everyone else's job a lot easier. His performance is my fondest memory of that year. He became a trusted and valued friend as well. Thank you, Tim.
