Recommendations

Ed goes beyond the limits of being an exceptional senior engineering director, he understands all the business and human ramifications of technology in the software industry, mastering how to drive those factors in favor of the company goals.
I have often seen how Ed was discussing critical strategic decisions with the company's CEO, and in the same day, mentoring junior engineers as career advisor and Scrum practice leader. 
Ed is extremely professional and a pragmatic leader. In our time working together, he was assigned by the company's top senior management board to realize many highly strategic and ambitious business goals, and he have made his teams to consistently deliver on those goals exceeding expectations.

Juan Noceda, Senior Product Manager

Ed is a pleasure to work with. He presents a rare balance of empathy and being goal and metrics-driven. He has transformed the support, infrastructure, and reports teams especially in the patient self-service solution line. He has a positive attitude, brings solutions to the table, and has always empowered his team to do their best. He presents industry best practices and methodologies, but is always practical and never dogmatic in his implementation. He is a trusted team member and leader!

​Ron Urwongse, Senior Product Manager

The ability to build a team and mentor its members are key among Ed's many strengths. I have been his colleague in MIT’s Gordon Engineering Leadership Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) for several years. We guide students through an intense week of teamwork and self-discovery. Ed's students love working with him. They appreciate his multi-faceted guidance, always delivered with warmth and humor, focused on the goal, and with their best interests at heart. These abilities make Ed a strong leader and terrific team player in any setting.
