RECOMMENDATIONS

“…Roger was my Project Manager for the T-Mobile Internet application. Working with a great project manager makes running projects much more effortless, and Roger certainly falls into this category. Not only did Roger help me effortlessly organize projects and timelines and chase down those financial questions, he often was my second brain, anticipating what the team would need to do next and setting the team up for success. I loved my time working with Roger and would love to work with him again. I would not hesitate to bring him on to work with me Michael Phelps Sr Director. T-Mobile

“…Roger Vaughn is a pleasure to work with. He is a self-starter that is always finding ways to contribute positively to the task at hand. He takes ownership of his projects and makes decisions. He is not the guy waiting around for someone to tell him what to do next. He aligns with his project owner, drives his Project forward and checks in along the way. The best thing about Roger is that he gets people. He connects with his team to move things forward, is always available to them and understands that paperwork though necessary, isn’t how you motivate team members to get things done. I will always have a place for Roger on any team I am responsible for.” Jason Scott CEO 120VC
