Warren is a very personable professional who melds seamlessly as a highly valued contributor, be it into hard OPS support, through marketing or sales support. His expertise in Telecom was critical to the successful rollout of Wind Mobile's network. Regardless of the chaos around him, Warren is heads down on milestones but never dismissive. He always could spare a second for a warm "hello" to anyone in the organization. I believe Warren is a great resource to any organization lucky enough to have him.
