I've collaborated with Tim on several philanthropic and fundraising activities. He is an organized, detail oriented leader who has a particular knack for building rapport with business partners. Tim was especially adept at negotiating services for product placement and advertising opportunities at fundraising events. Tim is extremely personable and I recommend him without reservation
Charles Varela
Tim worked with my organization on a direct consulting basis for over a year. During that time, he demonstrated over and over again his ability to grasp and understand the complexities of the operation. His role was to design and implement a re-organization strategy to improve efficiencies and establish controls to reduce and monitor exposure for a long tail product line. Tim has a knack for listening which contributes to the practical recommendations he makes. By the time the project came to an end, Tim was participating not in a consulting role, but as a bona fide member of the leadership team.
