“I worked closely with Frank in his role as Delivery&Operations manager when I was contractmanager of one of Shell's large outsourcing contracts. I have experienced Frank as a real professional who managed to create structure in a complex situation. Where others created chaos and panic, he was the stable rock between the demand organization and the supplier. I value Frank for his reliability, commitment and vision.” February 11, 2011

“I worked with Frank in 2010, when he was working for Shell as Delivery and Operations Manager, at a time when the new “Managed Services” contract with an Application Support Outsourcer was implemented. I was responsible for one of the applications whose delivery was impacted by that new contract, so one of Frank’s internal customers. It was a phase of great uncertainty and transition for everybody involved. Frank was extremely responsive to any concerns I brought up (in fact, he was the only person who actually did respond, out of a group of escalation points!), actively looking for a solution for us, understanding very well the requirements we had but also able to see and explain the limitations of the new contract to us in such a way that we could actually understand it and base further decisions on that understanding – instead of working in uncertainty, as before. He would do that in a very calm and professional way, taking out a lot of the stress of the situation. He also took the problem further to solution of the root cause, not just the symptoms, and was very assertive and effective in negotiating with the outsourcing partner. I would very gladly work with Frank again on any engagement, and can only recommend this very versatile and knowledgeable professional to other organisations as well.” February 10, 2011

“I had the pleasure of working with Frank on several projects throughout the time I joined NCR in 2002 until I left NCR in 2008.

Frank's knowledge of the contact center operations, his analytical ability and his openness to work at all hours of the day to meet the customer needs were his best attributes. He worked, and was successful on a number of key projects from customer SLA recovery to multi-language transition project. These projects were all critical for the team's success, and Frank was a key contributor to the success of these projects.

Frank would be an asset to any organization that requires someone with his background and skills.
