To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Letter of Recommendation for Daniel Brogan
I have known Dan Brogan since April 2004 when he first worked for me as a Project
Manager (PM) responsible for the implementation of EarthLink’s e-procurement system
(PurchasingNet). Dan led this high priority project from start to finish. Dan’s efforts were
recognized by both the CEO and CFO as a highly successful. This was crucial project to
our obligation to comply with Sarbanes Oxley requirements and it was delivered on time
and under budget.
Dan is a highly experienced PM who has an expansive knowledge and understanding of
project management techniques and tools. He has excellent communication and listening
skills and an ability to positively motivate and influence others.
Dan later worked for me as Director of Strategic Sourcing where he strengthened his
leadership skills and enhanced his knowledge of strategic sourcing. During this
assignment Dan led several successful negotiations that produced significant cost
reduction.
I have always found Dan to be reliable, trustworthy and a person of the highest integrity. I
would highly recommend Dan for his knowledge, experience and expertise in project
management and an ability to deliver against goals and objectives.
Sincerely,
Mike Clair
