Russell Diez-Canseco

“I have had the opportunity to work with Russell on several change management projects. Every time I worked with him I was completely in awe of his ability to lead,direct, and challenge a team to do their absolute best resulting in superior organizational results. His ability to lead organizations to operational excellence in challenging environments is probably his "gift". His leadership in: - Change management - Operations Management - Supply Chain Management - Operations process improvement is where Russell makes the biggest impact. Russell is able to lead his organizations to make ground breaking results not only for their company but their industry. Russell has a wonderful ability to lead teams to make huge change and still make everyone feel they had a part in making the company better. His ability improve company cultures and financial revenues is impressive and awe inspiring. He has provided "miracles" in organizations with his ability to engage every team member to improve corporate results. His ability to recruit, select, train, and mentor organizations look effortless. I say that because he takes "teams that have not worked well" to organizational excellence in the manner of months. Whether he is working on complex supply chain management projects or operational process improvements he makes these huge important mission impossible projects look easy. His ability to mentor, lead, and make companies better in everyway is his true testimony to his operational excellence. His mentees stay in contact with him for years and he has been able to mold and shape several successful executives. Russell has that unique talent to make a difference in every organization he is associated. When you see the astounding results he is responsible for leading, he is the first to be humble and give the credit to his teams. Make no mistake everyone that works with him credits' Russell's support and leadership to the team's success. His employees became better employees and better people because he is able to " challenge and capture their best performance" from all his teams. How he stays on top of all his responsibilities and "special projects' is always a perfect balancing act. He never drops the ball. He is the person who keeps change management programs and higher goals the motivation to become better and do better. Some how he knows how to challenge every person that works for him; to get their best performance. Russell has that rare and valuable talent of getting the best performance out of everyone he works with. I spoke at length with a long term "unchangeable" VP ... "Russell, makes every one he works with better, he does it to everyone he works with, he makes you play at the top of your game because you want to be on his team". I give Russell my highest recommendation as a great servant leader.”
