“I had the pleasure of working with Leif via a joint project between Nortel and IBM. Leif is an extremely capable, enthusiastic, and positive person that brings a ton of energy and knowledge to the table. Leif's experience in the IT world was a real asset to the development and progression of our project, defining IT deliverables, and requirements so the entire team could build and develop according to defined plans. Leif's ability to lead, influence and execute across mulitple functions helped facilitate objectives in foriegn territory. Leif is a natural leader that focuses on people and business objectives - for the success of those around him. Leif has moved on, however, his legacy and spirit lives on in the minds of those he worked with in the joint project. I would be proud to recommend Leif for future work in any capacity.”
