3 people have recommended Ron
"I hired Ron in November 2007 to run the Strategic Sourcing team supporting Facilities Management on the
Washington Mutual account. Ron was an excellent manager who was highly respected by those who worked
with him and those who worked for him, both for his deep well of sourcing experience as well as his general
management skills. As a manager, he was an excellent mentor and motivator, skilled in getting the best from
his team. As a sourcing professional, he was very knowledgeable in best practices and effective in driving the
results our client expected, including agressive savings targets. I can recommend Ron highly for any sourcing
or operations management role, and would welcome the opportunity of working with him again."
— Rob Jacobs, managed Ron at CB Richard Ellis
"Ron worked for CB Richard Ellis in the Procurement, contracts department. As an indirect Supervisor of
Ron working for Washington Mutual I found Ron to be a good communicator, very logical in his thinking,
extremely customer service oriented by responding quickly and accurately to all requests. If I had a position
available or was fortunate enough to own a business, I would not hesitate in hiring Ron as an employee. In
addition I found working with Ron enjoyable and productive."
— Christopher Taylor, was Ron's client
"In reporting to Ron for about 7 years, I found him to be an outstanding manager who always had an open
door policy. Ron also made the time to help in any way that he can. Ron was also very accomodating when
it came to needing time off even if it meant that he had to put in extra time to ensure things were done. Ron
always kept me and the rest of the team in the loop as far as the happenings around the company. He is an
excellent communicator with some of the best people skills. Any company that hires Ron should know that
they are getting one of the best people out there. If the right opportunity was made available, I would be
honored to work for Ron again."
