“I had the pleasure of working with Kyle on a large and complex financial system implementation project at a Fortune 100 company. Kyle has unique problem-solving capabilities and displays leadership skills that kept our team on task and helped us meet aggressive deadlines. Kyle can think on his feet and works extremely well interfacing between Sr. Project Leadership and Business Operations. He also has strong communication skills and can distill complex issues into understandable terms. I highly recommend Kyle professionally and personally. ”
