Feedback from my colleagues, partners and customers

Operations Manager, Central and Eastern Europe - Current position

Teradata Corporation

“I had the opportunity to work together with Larry on various accounts, where he and his team were responsible to provide the customer service / support services of the account. On all counts I was impressed by his no-nonsense, "let's get it solved" attitude, by his "natural" leadership skills that helped him manage effectively a virtual team of 10+ persons. I would also like to emphasis his very structured approach to problem solving and issue handling, his ability to stay cool and take good and rational decisions even in very heated situations. His customer focus and his ability to develop and maintain excellent relationships with his counterparts on the customer side is also a very valuable capability” September 20, 2009

Was with another company when working with Larry at Teradata Corporation (Contracted Partner)

“I had a pleasure of working with Larry on a complex installation project for one of Teradata biggest customers in Central Europe. I was "protecting" the Customer's interests and Larry was fighting to manage the installation on the global level. We were theoretically in competing position but we managed to overcome this smoothly and delivered the solution. I valued Larry for his strive for excellence and pushing for logical approach where everybody else was about sticking with company procedures. Sometimes we had strong discussions but I would not hesitate to work with Larry again and I strongly recommend him. He is a true fighter!” September 1, 2008
