Colleagues describe him as "Gary is an exemplary project manager in all aspects. As a project lead, I worked closely with him on a large scale, global project that impacted all employees at Avnet. Gary really has it all...the business acumen, operational understanding, technology know-how, and the people skills. His approachable and sensible work style makes him successful with many personality types, and his varied and rich business experience makes him invaluable in his role as a project manager. Gary is able to keep everyone on track and hold others accountable while remaining supportive and encouraging. He is also a wonderful mentor and makes time for others to truly help them learn and grow. He is authentic and genuine and I was honored to be part of the team that he led." and "Like most things, project management is both an art and science. I had the privilege of working with Gary to deliver several large global initiatives at a global 2000 fortune 200 organization whereas Gary acted as the lead project manager. Relating to the science of project management; Gary was a tactician when it came to the blocking and tackling of the projects. He led the team by formalizing project imperative information such as the project charter, project plan, costing, and scope documentation. Gary was also nimble throughout projects, once handling a shift in organizational technology, transitioning seamlessly mid-project from external software into our enterprise Office 365 suite. In those projects Gary owned and ran our core team meetings, cut-over calls, and other ad hoc meetings required to accomplish such large projects successfully. He was diligent in his note taking, and would ask questions to seek understanding in areas that might have been out of is domain; this helped him synthesize, but also helped our leaders or functional team members who may have not have been as deep in certain topic areas. He also drove decisions and escalated topics as needed resulting in each project being delivered on-time and within or under budget. Despite the above, I don’t reflect on the administrivia or execution when I think of the strengths of Gary. He was an excellent colleague and helped create a culture for success in all things that he was a part of. Gary was always a partner in our endeavors, and he helped navigate even the shiftiest of affairs with ease and professionalism. Adding that to his natural ability to come up to speed and conceptualize, I hold Gary in the highest esteem as it relates to a project leader and associate. "
