“During my career developing and managing accounts, Kent Parker tops the list of high caliber, executive professionals to know and work with. In our first association, we had the pleasure of developing a substantial amount of business between our companies because of his partnership attitude, honesty, integrity and drive for improvement. His ability to lead an organization down untried paths without guaranteed results was a strength observed early in our relationship. Kent was never afraid to try a new direction with measured risk, a talent many organizations could benefit from. Forward looking, well read and informed, Kent is able to get to the bottom line while balancing the needs of both the company and client. I again had the pleasure of working with Kent as an employee in later years with a start up company facing immense challenges and pressures. At this point I was able to fully see and appreciate Kent’s energetic tireless drive to improve operations. His ability to set goals, energize the team and effect change, again demonstrated his strong leadership skills. Kent’s measured hands on management style are a plus to any organization. One of Kent’s greatest qualities leading to his success has to be his people skills. As a mark of any great leader, he has always shown a genuine personal concern for his teams well fair and success. Some talk it, he definitely walks it. In that light, I can assure anyone or any organization in need of a leader or change agent, they need to look no further than Kent Parker.”
