Fred taught me a great deal during the years I worked with him, and he helped me grow throughout my career. Fred, has great knowledge of the business in every aspect and would be a great asset at any organization.", "I was Fred’s HR business partner while at Taco Bell. He is a gifted leader. His ability to develop talent is outstanding. If he felt his team needed something, and their ability to lead would improve as a result, he would try new and engaging methods to address the need. His efforts paid off year-after-year as his market leaders and restaurant managers annually won some of the most prestigious company awards. His business results improved every year, and his people grew immensely as business leaders during his tenure. I enjoyed my time working with Fred. He is down to earth and took an authentic interest in me, as well as my family right away. He is very collaborative and listens well. Getting to the best solution was more important to Fred than it being “his idea”. His ability to adapt and engage, coupled with his ability to lead will be an asset to any organization.", and "Fred inspired me to do more, take more risks, have more confidence and all of that led to better results. I thoroughly enjoyed working for him and would do it again. His confidence in me gave me confidence. I saw that in all of us who were direct reports. His personality is a force. He is so enthusiastic, ambitious and positive that he made me feel I could conquer any challenge. Having come out of the restaurant business, I was skeptical that he could pick-up healthcare. He surprised me. He is such a strong leader that it didn’t matter what he knew about dentistry, he knew how to move a mass of office teams, managers and doctors toward a common goal while he learned the industry. Over the years his knowledge surpassed that of many others with more seniority. He spent time chair-side with docs learning dental language and procedures and building his credibility. I have never seen that level of commitment from an executive. Took a personal interest in me right away. He cared as much about me as a person, my fitness and so on as he did about business results. Gave me stretch assignments, which provided experience that set me apart from my peers. Wherever he goes next will be lucky to have him!"
