Raymond Smith is a Executive Director of Enterprise Services at Clinical Reference Laboratory at Clinical Reference Laboratory. He possess expertise in management, business analysis, process improvement, sdlc, sql and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I was fortunate to work with Ray on my team at Clinical Reference Laboratory during a very challenging time of tremendous business growth and aging systems that had not been actively invested in when I arrived in 2015. Ray was instrumental in assisting me with the development of an enterprise architecture plan that we executed on for the next 4 years that both improved the continuity of operations but also drove costs down for our company. Ray is one of the best enterprise infrastructure architects that I've worked with. Ray is a creative, innovative infrastructure designer, and his knowledge is extremely extensive. Ray's attention to detail is what made the successful planning & implementation of large, complicated projects like the move and rebuilding of one of our main datacenters, designing and implementing redundant "always on" services or a complete domain restructure seem simple. Any company would be extremely fortunate to have Ray as a Senior IT Leader on their team." and "I can say without a doubt Ray is one of, if not the, best managers I've ever worked for. Ray has the unique ability to be able to bridge the tactical and strategic decision points into plans and directions that always keep the business needs in mind. He has the ability to allow his subordinates the opportunity to succeed and knows when its needed to redirect those efforts. I believe one of the critical keys to Ray's success is his ability to communicate in both directions and ensure that his teams understand what is needed to accomplish the goals set forth. He has the ability to communicate upwards extremely technical details in a way to VP and the "C" level executives that ensures high level support is maintained throughout. It would be my pleasure to work with Ray in any capacity in the future."
