TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 12th September, 2015
Mr. Brian Hunter
I have known Mr. Brian Hunter for little over five years, primarily due to our working relationship
directed towards manufacturing advanced ceramic products, technology transfer, lean manufacturing
and manufacturing plant expansion. Later, our relationship transformed to ‘friendship’, when we
started exchanging our ideas/thoughts about other areas of manufacturing process, innovations, cost
control, and people management in general. I grew to value Brian’s judgement, social contributions,
and reality based leadership style in managing the entire plant operations of a high-tech start-up
company. His primary responsibilities, as Plant Manager, included (but not limited to) planning,
organizing and directing the manufacturing and maintenance operations to ensure the most effective
return on assets. Brian implemented Lean Manufacturing tools, which continued to minimize
manufacturing costs through the effective utilization of manpower, equipment, facilities, materials, and
capital. Brian was instrumental in establishing plant expansion projects, and then he
engineered/designed, got resources and built the manufacturing plant and process. He also managed
the capital budget required for the plant from start to finish. Most outstanding contribution of Mr.
Hunter was, as I have identified, was helping his organization with hiring world class technical and
management professionals, and their professional growth within the organization, taking care of day
to day people situations, performance appraisals, promotions/pay raises, retention of people etc. Mr.
Brian Hunter did extremely well in a complex human relations, and management climate; he took the
burdens of leadership seriously owning problems and defeats, and generously sharing triumphs and
victories with his team.
Brian is pleasant in nature, hardworking, energetic, goal-oriented, and is able to come up to speed
quickly when new assignments are given to him. Beyond his superior management and
administrative capabilities, Mr. Hunter is a great person to interact with, whether it be work related or
general everyday topics. His ability to engage with people allows him to be very efficient in achieving
project/management goals.
One of the most important qualities of Brian is that he leads by example; --- working long hours with
his team, supporting their efforts and aspirations; in short, actively problem solving by bringing out the
best in his people.
I am honored to write this recommendation/endorsement for Mr. Brian Hunter, and I truly believe that
he would be an asset to any organization he is a part of.
