1. Recommendations for Tracy Barbee
Jess Eberdt, President & Ceo - Parata Systems
Tracy managed the construction and opening of two large offices and several expansions, as the company grew from 0 revenue
to $100MM. It was amazing that such a large feat was pulled together in such a short period of time. She was also the
Executive Assistant to the CEO and CFO. The smooth operation of the office and her attention to detail is a true reflection of
her knowledge and experience. Her skills in this area were invaluable to Parata.
Tracy’s unwavering commitment and enthusiasm are unparalleled. She made significant contributions early on in a fast-
moving; high-growth environment and was critical to the cultural of the company.
George Young, EVP/Co-Founder, Serenex
Tracy joined the Serenex team in its earliest start-up phase and, as is required by early employees, had many functions. She
served as the Administrative Assistant and as the Office and Facility Manager. When we needed to create a safe lab
environment, she obtained her OSHA Safety Certification and implemented the company's safety program. As I formed the
company I sought a person who could be a high energy achiever. Tracy was my right hand person and it is hard to imagine
how we could have survived early on without a Tracy on board. I could off load anything to her and know that it would get
done.
Some of her duties included creating PowerPoint presentations, expense management, travel booking, meeting and event
planning, and board meeting coordination. She negotiated maintenance and vendor contracts, space planning, the procurement
of office furnishings and both lab and office equipment. Tracy also performed some of our early HR functions and, as we
grew, she supervised the receptionist.
Tracy puts her heart and soul into her mission and goes well beyond the call of duty to see it accomplished. Tracy’s creative
and innovative spirit made working with her enjoyable. I will add that she is a bundle of energy and as you hire her be
prepared to have a dynamo on board.
She eventually left for another opportunity and if I had the chance I would hire her again.
David Blake, Mgr, Information Technology, Serenex, Inc.
“I worked with Tracy for several years and during that time she consistently brought new ideas to the table, found innovative
ways to setup and support our office environment and routinely solved the daily challenges a start up company always seems
to exhibit. When I came on board with Serenex, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tracy managed the phone system, the
servers, and other facility responsibilities that would exceed a typical office manager’s responsibilities. I would recommend
Tracy to anybody as she is always able to think “out of the box” and that is very important in today’s fiscal environment”
Janet Fontenot, Telecom Support & IT Admin, Parata Systems
“Tracy is a proven professional whose expertise is in start up companies initiating everything from the office design to
business infrastructure. She puts her heart and soul into her mission and goes well beyond the call of duty to see it
accomplished. Her creative and innovative spirit compel her to seek out continuous solutions and improvement processes. She
is personable and builds easy rapport with her colleagues and business contacts. Her ability to adapt to any situation and
positive attitude will make her an asset to any organization.”
David Cox Facilities Specialist, Parata Systems
Tracy was my supervisor for two years and was a wonderful boss and mentor. She was not only a Team player she was the
Captain! She really did help keep morale up at all times. Tracy has the energy and skills that any company would be glad to
have. She gives 110% at all times and works well alone or in a team setting. Her office skills match her people skills which
are both super sharp.
Josh Friend Senior Software Engineer, Parata Systems
“I had the privilege of working with Tracy at Parata Systems. During that time, I was continually impressed with her work
ethic and integrity. Furthermore, she is one of the most compassionate and generous individuals I know, as demonstrated by
her commitment to Special Olympics. It is impossible to divine the following from Tracy’s profile, so I will just state it:
qualifications are a dime a dozen, passion is harder to find. I have encountered very few people who are as passionate about
what they do as Tracy is.”
