REFERENCES: 1. Steve Gibson Surface Devices Microsoft stgibs@microsoft.com I have worked with Greg for almost 18 months in his capacity on the Procurement team. His job, among others, is to help support the Engineering and Technical Teams by finding and ordering supplies and equipment that is needed for us to accomplish our tasks. He has always been responsive and helpful, going the ‘extra mile’ when an item proves to be difficult to find. I also find him very easy to get along with and think he will be an asset to any company that hires him. I am sorry to see him go. 2. Bob Salvati Thermal Design verification Engineer II Microsoft rsalv@microsoft.com Cell: 206-733-0998Hello, I’ve been a coworker with Greg for a couple of years now, and I’d like to share my experiences with him. From a professional standpoint, his work ethic is remarkable. He has unfailingly provided exceptional support to my purchasing needs and has always worked to completion in resolving any issues that arise, both from supplier mistakes and my own as well. On a personal note, Greg is one of the most pleasant colleagues I interact with. He is courteous and friendly each time I speak with him. This is very refreshing to me in our high-stress work environment.I strongly recommend him for employment, and it’s our loss that we’re losing such a valuable asset.Please feel free to contact me with any questions.Best regards, Bob Salvati3. Mark V. Provost Project Manager Microsoft It has been my pleasure to work with Greg and I will miss the expertise he has bestowed upon us over the past 18 months, where he has rapidly gotten up to speed on all our processes.Greg has been an outstanding member of our team for the last year and a half and I have always been impressed by his professionalism and abilities to follow-up on availabilities and outstanding orders as well as his likeable personal qualities. He is a great “fit” for our position, however our policies dictate an 18-month limit for contract personnel.As a service engineer and project manager in the world of prototypes I am responsible for supporting a large team of engineers and Greg has been an important part of our team and will be greatly missed. I will no longer have the pleasure of working with Greg but having witnessed his long track record of success and admirable character, I assure you that he will more than excel in the role. Our loss is your gain.I wholeheartedly recommend Greg for this position. I am confident he will become an invaluable addition to your team. Sincerely, Mark V. Provost
