Colleagues describe him as "Ed is one of the smartest people I’ve ever worked with. He has a deep understanding of New Production Introduction and S&OP processes and is a great Supply Chain Leader. He has a unique ability to take extremely complicated topics or data and break them down into digestible images, charts, tables etc. to tell a story and provide clear, fact-based recommendations. Ed’s a PowerPoint wizard. His best quality is supporting people, whether it be in a leadership role coaching or encouraging his team, driving consensus on a leadership team, supporting a customer looking for specific improvement or helping a peer (i.e., Me...a lot…). I’ve had the pleasure to work with Ed over several years in many different roles and have learned much from him, but more importantly, always enjoyed our interactions thoroughly. " and "Ed was a critically valuable partner to the Innovation team that I led at Morton Salt. Our teams collaborated regularly to ensure the right projects were advancing on the right timelines. In the bigger picture, Ed developed a governance framework that linked strategy with initiatives to ensure they were aligned. Specifically, Ed created a model that allowed for the comparison of projects across types. Meaning, with that tool, Leadership had a way to compare both the complexity & business impact of various projects (from new product development to IT to functional priorities, etc.). Again, this allowed the organization to prioritize the most critical initiatives in a way it hadn't before. The tool also provided a longer term view that showed when manpower or capability gaps would adversely impact the strategy. Knowledge is power. Seeing that early paid dividends as we were able to get out in front of potential obstacles. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like additional information. I am confident Ed would be a positive addition to any organization."

Listed skills include Consumer Products, Product Development, Resource Management, Portfolio Management, and 22 others.
