“I am in the business of identifying and placing high-performance professionals inside global organizations. Toward that end, I'd like to recommend Mr.
Andrew Baker as an emerging fast-acting, reliable, intelligent decision-maker who has a unique ability for exceptional team work and quality output
under stressful circumstances. Mr. Baker's constituent services acumen is well documented while working with both diverse cultures in incredibly
crowded environments that may have as many as 14,000 persons in a confined area. He brings an intellectual intensity to projects and self-confidence
that conveys wisdom, equanimity, and balance. SMART Holdings USA, SMARTvt.org, is proud to endorse and recommend Mr. Baker's Subject Matter
Expertise. ”
Mark Renkert, MCsl
Chairman of the Board, SMART Holdings USA
“Andrew is recognized by his peers for his maturity and his dependability. I am extremely proud to have had the pleasure of working with him and am
as impressed by him now as I was when he was a freshman in high school. Andrew is a leader. Without question, Andrew’s character is of the highest
caliber. His outstanding character is the culmination of all of his opportunities, experiences, and decisions. His maturity is obvious. Andrew Baker is
the type of achiever who will succeed. I wholeheartedly recommend him.”
Dr. Alicia M. Roy
Superintendent of Schools
“Andrew participated in the Quickcomm summer internship program which was scheduled to be eight weeks June 2, 2012 – July 27, 2012. Due to
Andrew’s excellent work ethic he was one of the few interns selected to continue on for the remainder of the summer. His projects were all high visibility
and encompassed a very important body of work for our company. Andrew handled them with very limited guidance which demonstrated his leadership
abilities and his astute business acumen. The projects included extensive research, acute attention to detail and the ability to work both independently
and as part of the team. He completed them on time, utilized his excellent people skills and produced top notch reports. Andrew also independently
developed a categorized, disaster recovery template which was implemented throughout the corporation and continues to be utilized as a standard
process document for Quickcomm. Andrew is extremely personable, a swift learner and has the ability to think on his feet. It was a pleasure to have him
work within our organization. If we had an opportunity to offer Andrew a permanent position we would absolutely hire him. However, due to a hiring
freeze, that is not an option, at this time. I can say with complete certainty that if you choose to select Andrew, you will have a very
dedicated, conscientious, hard- working individual join your team. Andrew will be a value added to any organization he joins.”
Maureen Deacy
Recruiter, Quickcomm, Inc., A Vodafone Company
“I have worked with Andrew for a number of years as a volunteer ski patroller. Andrew has continuously impressed me as a highly
effective, energetic, and absolutely trustworthy professional. I have seen Andrew repeatedly work in highly stressful situations, maintaining his cool and
doing exactly what is needed. He is a great team player, perceiving the needs of the other team members and supporting them intuitively. I
wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to employers.”
