Recommendations For Richard
Infrastructure Architect
Firemans Fund Insurance Company
Richard is a highly experienced and well rounded enterprise and infrastructure
architect. His breadth and depth of IT knowledge, ability to articulate complex technical
topics, professional and personable demeanor earned him respect and made him a natural
leader among our architect community. I enjoyed working directly with him for almost two
years and strongly recommend his work. December 10, 2011
3rd Brad V., IT Infrastructure Architect, Firemans Fund Insurance Company
worked directly with Richard at Firemans Fund Insurance Company
Technical Director, Enterprise Architecture
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc
Richard is a great asset to any technology organization. He was a key to how well the
technology governance function ran at Schwab. Governance frequently gets a lot of
resistance, but Richard was key to help setting up a function that minimized the overhead -
- making the governance deliverables as much a part of the regular workstream as possible -
- and simplified and automated the feedback process so that turnaround for projects was
extremely quick. This is governance the way it was meant to be run.
This was the main role in which I worked with Richard, but from our discussions I have no
doubt he is also a great asset in the network and systems management space. It has been a
real pleasure for me to work with Richard in my time at Schwab. March 13, 2009
3rd Chalon M., Technical Director, Charles Schwab & Co.
worked directly with Richard at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc
I had the pleasure of working with Richard in various capacities during our mutual
tenure at Schwab. Richard is a consummate professional. He is one of those valuable
individuals that always tries to do what is best for the company and he brings a wealth of
knowledge and experience to bear on any task he takes on. I could always count on Richard
to provide an intelligent perspective on whatever area he was working in and I trusted his
judgement implicitly.
And, he makes a mean Cassoulet... August 31, 2008
