RE: LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION: MR. DARIN O’TOOLE
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Darin O’Toole to you and your organization. It is rare to encounter
an individual who possesses intelligence, a diverse skill set, loyalty, and an incredible work ethic. Darin
possesses all of these traits, as well as many others to serve his employer.
Darin was employed with dishNET Wireline (formerly known as Multi-Link Communications and
Liberty-Bell Telecom) from 1996 to 2014. I had the good fortune to work with him for fourteen years.
As indicated by the name changes, the Company also underwent many changes throughout the years.
Darin held multiple positions during his tenure - based on what the organization needed as it changed
and evolved. He held positions as an individual contributor and a manager.
As a manager, Darin was able to successfully develop the individuals that worked for him. He took the
time to show each employee not only how to do a task, but why it needed to be done a certain way.
Although this sounds like an obscure difference, it is not. When employees understand why they are
doing something, they are more apt to make sound decisions based on that knowledge base going
forward. Additionally, Darin and his team were often given projects that needed to be completed
quickly and accurately (customer acquisitions, system migrations, etc.). He was able to form a team,
train them, and complete the project under tight deadlines.
Darin is very detail-oriented, and easily grasps complex, technical concepts and practices. In the
telecommunications and operational systems used by the Company, he possessed the knowledge and
skills to resolve customer or operational issues at a systemic versus surface level.
Regardless of the various positions he has held, Darin practiced the “whatever it takes” philosophy to
contribute to the success of the Company’s goals. He is not an “8 to 5” employee – he works when
there is work to be done, and continues until the work is completed.
I am confident that Darin O’Toole will personally succeed in his next position, as well as contribute to
the success of the company he chooses for the next phase of his career. Please feel free to contact me
if you have additional questions. I can be reached at 303-881-9454.
Respectfully,
Christina Neher
(Former Chief Operating Officer – Liberty Bell Telecom)
