Sam Quinn's recommmendations
“Sam is an outstanding professional who was able to bring his business knowledge and experience to bear on a critical outsourcing programme run over 2006. The considered wisdom from within the organisation at the time was that it would take 18 months to complete but Sam helped foster a spirit of collegiality and accountability within the team that saw the full implementation within 12 months with no impact on customers. I highly recommend Sam and would have no hesitation in working with him again.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

hired Sam as a Business Consultant in 2006
Grant Shatford's recommendations
“I've had the pleasure of working very closely with Grant over a period spanning several years. From the very start, he was a mentoring Senior Manager who saw potential in my abilities and invested time to groom and develop those abilities.
Grant possesses the ultimate "can do" attitude. Most Vice Presidents work from remote locations in fancy offices, or jet-setting between countries in the company Jet. Grant is nothing like that stereotype. He'll often sit in a cubicle in the open office. And it isn’t as intimidating as one would imagine. It is motivating. You observe him taking on tasks with a positive energy and a smile. Not just delegating, but taking ownership and following up. His upbeat personality and engaging personal style make him engaging to any staff member, and people from across the company are forever chatting to him: Client Services staff, Finance Analysts, Operations Engineers, Project Managers, Sales staff.
Grant is very well organized detail-oriented person. I'll mention something to him during a conversation, and the next week he'll ask how that went. I remember one day when Grant named each of the various data-centres PGi had, how many particular nodes in each, the type of service each node had and the building's specifications in terms of it's disaster recovery abilities. He is very much involved in all aspects of Operations, and becomes an SME on any project.
You witness him taking initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of his role. And I think that's the strategy, to lead by example by showing ownership, initiative and diligence - right there with the Ops team in Sydney, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur or New Jersey."

Daniel Kupec's recommendations
"During the time I worked with Daniel I often took as an example his attitude to the business. The line on whiteboard in his office “Take ownership and make decisions as you would in your company” shows very well his management approach. Daniel is optimistic and very hard-working person with genuine interest in his team and the world of business. He was always ready to take on the challenge and use his intelligent approach to get things done.
I personally highly value his readiness to understand viewpoint of an opponent and persistence to achieve the best. Without a hesitation I would use any future opportunity to work with Daniel and can recommend him as a talented, encouraging and highly organised manager.”
