"When you think of a selfless team player, Antonio Liriono immediately comes to mind. He has a unique talent of successfully delivering complexed information to clients in a wide variety of customer environments in a very professional manner. I have personally participate in a number of his presentations in corporate settings as well as war torn environments in Afghanistan. In both cases he eliminates obstacles and removes users resistance to changes in processes and procedures. The ease in which he demonstrates in his (bi-lingual) communication and people skills of technical information is something seldom seen today. He leaves his audiences engaged and motivated to take charge of the task at hand. He completes his each assignments ahead of schedule and within budget. If I had the chance to have Antonio on my team I would welcome the opportunity."
Darryl Pipkin, RTE, CSP, CSM, worked directly with Antonio at DynCorp International
"I worked with Antonio at DynCorp International for about 8 months. He is a great professional mentor and leader. Antonio is very people oriented and has the ability to communicate effectively in challenging situations. Antonio and I shared a tour in Afghanistan together in the fall/winter of 2010. He was a senior fellow employee to me at the time and showed me the ropes on how training and logistics worked in the hostile environment. Together we were able to successfully train 80+ DynCorp employees and contractors at 7+ Forward Operating Bases. I believe that with Antonio's team player/go-getter attitude, combined with his training and management skills, he will be a great asset to any organization. Dwayne Simmons" Page8
