RE: Letter of Recommendation
To whom it may concern,
I would like to recommend Nicholas O’Day as a candidate for a position with your organization.
I have worked with Mr. O’Day for over two years on a number of high visibility, high dollar
value technology projects and can attest to his intelligence, diligence, and integrity in making
those projects a success.
I first worked with Mr. O’Day on a multi-million dollar technology modernization project at
New Haven Unified School District in 2013. With his competencies and grasp of the latest
educational technology trends, he identified cost-effective solutions in several different areas,
including AV equipment, laptop carts, and end user digital devices. Every item that was
recommended and subsequently purchased met our technical specification requirements while
coming in at significant savings to originally budgeted costs.
I have found Mr. O’Day to be helpful, responsive and dedicated to providing the best customer
service possible regardless of the size of the project. Mr. O’Day responds to inquiries
thoughtfully and promptly regardless if the order is for a single unit or for two hundred units.
Mr. O’Day consistently stands behind his work and has gone above and beyond in addressing
issues or concerns throughout the lifecycle of a project. In my conversations with a couple
OEMs, they have praised Mr. O’Day for being one of the best in his line of work, which is rare
to hear of.
Mr. O’Day’s history of delivering tremendous value add in all of our projects is why I
wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have any further questions about his qualifications.
Sincerely,
Raymond Mar, Director of Technology
