“Stan was a great subject matter expert and leader within our organization. He was a key contributor to our strong growth, balanced with strong financial results, especially in the Risk management area. I have no hesitation in recommending Stan to others who may need his services.” February 20, 2011
“I worked with Stan for a number of years and have a great appreciation for the knowledge and experience he brings to bear. His ability to balance the needs of the business with those of the sales team contributed significantly to the strong performance we consistently delivered during his tenure. Unlike some finance professionals, Stan is very proficient at seeing beyond the numbers and he used this judgment to help secure incremental business with minimal risk to the organization.” November 16, 2010
“I had the opportunity to work with Stan for a number of years when he was the Corporate, Credit Manager, at HEWLETT PACKARD FINANCIAL SERVICES ' HPFS'. Stan was very professional and extremely ethical in his dealings with the company and our clients. He was very adept at risk assessment and was able to offer alternative solutions for challenging credits. I would willingly recommend Stan for any credit management role.” October 31, 2010
Stan was recommended to me by a fellow business entrepreneur and as a small business owner, I was at first skeptical about using a Business Consultant. However, I found Stan to be very personable and a great listener. He had fantastic ideas and connections, and I especially appreciated his openness to "think outside of the box" (it's especially difficult for an Independent Publisher, as a magazine does not provide 'inventory' as other businesses do!). I would recommend (and have recommended) Stan to other individuals who are looking for someone with whom they can talk to openly, and share ideas that bring results.
“Stan has an uncanny ability to quickly assess a customer's financial situation and hone in on challenges a customer may be having. He performs his work with a very high degree of professionalism and integrity.” November 6, 2009
“Stan worked for me for a number of years. I found him to be very engaged with our sales team and worked extremely well in moving our business forward. Stan provided excellent guidance in identifying ways to be able to close our opportunities and in many cases creatively provided a "can do" structure that absolutely assisted in winning the business.” November 9, 2009
