5 people have recommended Cecilia
"Having hired Cecilia on more then one occassion, I can honestly say that I would recommend her with out
reservation. While I can only select three attributes that describe her, she is truely an outstanding person who
is a great addition to any team or project. While at Nestle Foods, Cecilia helped our team implement a very
complicated HR and Payroll system and process accross all plants, DC's and Corp HQ. She really helped save
the project. At Tambrands, I hired Cecilia for several financial and supply chain initiatives. She is very
resourceful and dependable. Cecilia worked with me on various assignments for over 8 years. My only regret
was I could never convince her to join me as a fulltime employee. If you have a difficult project, believe me
you want Cecilia on your team. Sincerely, Michael Chiappinelli"
Michael Chiappinelli, was Cecilia's client
"I worked with Cecilia in Information Technology at 2 companies - Nestle Foods and Tambrands. I'm
familiar with her extensive knowledge of the JDEdwards/Oracle World systems, in addition to experience at
performing system upgrades and intefaces with external systems. She has the highest standards of integrity, is
very cost-concious and efficent. Highest recommendation."
Elaine Weiner, senior system programmer, Nestle Foods, worked directly with Cecilia at Nestle
"Cecilia worked as a System 38 programmer/consultant both at Nestle's and Tambrands. She is a high quality
and high volume performer who was major contributor to many successful projects. She has a very strong
work ethic."
Irwin Zaetz, Business Systems Manager, Nestle Foods, managed Cecilia indirectly at Nestle
"Cecille reported to me in a matrix structure in CityTrust and Organon projects over a period of eighteen
months or so. I found Cecille highly competent in not only managing her own work, but also providing
mentoring and leadership to her teams. Balancing the demands of her family and work seemed to come quite
naturally. Cecille typically took time to understand the "bigger" picture which helped her pay more attention
to relevance of detail in design and development than was the norm. In this she distinguished herself from her
peers; and was able to move from a core banking application to a pharmaceutical ERP application with verve.
Her teams responded to her unique brand of leadership with better than average throughput, with good
humour and team spirit that stood out among the multiple teams involved in the projects. I am delighted to
have worked with Cecille and confident that she would exceed expectations whether working as an individual
or a team member ."
