Actual Select Comments

“…Garry is one of those leaders that “just gets it!”

“…At the end of the day, Garry and his team always deliver!”

“…You are one of the unique few that can understand both the Business and Technical ramifications equally as well. More importantly, you have the rare gift of being able to collaborate with both groups so that all parties understand and can deliver successfully... “

I agree, I wish I had a couple of clones of Garry, because I think he is an outstanding leader and somebody who really takes control of both the corporate side and the customer side and really executes it to a very high level
