Gary Sears is a Project Manager/Sales at Paragon Medical. Colleagues describe him as "Gary is a professional. There is no other term that better describes him. He is a strong mentor that has the experience to help guide others in his peer group. Gary has strong ties in the medical device industry, which makes him an asset to any organization. He is a "front of the business" guy. He handles himself well in all environments and will represent the organization very well. " and "I first started working with Gary when he was essentially the only employee of a small subsidiary of our company. This business sold and serviced a small line of diagnostic instruments in the U.S. manufactured by a sister company in Germany. Although his role was primarily to service the instruments, he had assumed a broad customer service role, including answering product questions, troubleshooting the systems over the phone and even taking and shipping orders of products and consumables. Gary is a quick learner and is very personable which made him a natural in the customer service role. As the only full time employee of this business unit he demonstrated a high level of self motivation and self-direction. He could be trusted to get his job done effectively, keep the customers happy and alert management of issues. Later, when that business unit was disbanded, Gary transitioned into a production management role where once again his interpersonal skills and leadership were demonstrated on a daily basis. Gary worked with a variety of people at all levels of the business and seemed to have the trust and confidence of everyone. He could be relied on to fulfill his role daily and keep his team working effectively. I can recommend Gary with complete confidence."
