Richard Silvers is a Vice President of Technology Innovation at Texell Credit Union at Texell Credit Union. He possess expertise in php, apache, database design, sql, linux and 23 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I can honestly say that it's been a pleasure and a privilege to work in the same company as Richard, where I feel that we had a close professional relationship. As a manager, he showed a great ability to listen to, support and build up the people who were reporting to him. In fact, calling him a manager doesn't do him justice. He was something much more important than a manager. He was a leader. And lead he did. He led via his work ethic, that was certainly something to admire and for me personally, something I always aspired to be able to match. While certainly being very knowledgeable in many technology fields, and always bringing a lot to any discussion, he didn't shy away from letting other people shine or admitting that there are things other people might know better. If there was something that he didn't know, he was very quick to find the information required and assimilate it. When it came to assigning tasks, he was always fair and gave plenty of direction to ensure that the person who was assigned to said task would do very well. The above was a small part of how Richard led his team(s), but for me personally, he was more than a manager or a leader. He was a mentor from day one. I couldn't even begin to list the things I learned from Richard, both in terms of skills, but also professionalism in the workplace, a security mindset and much more. I'm positive that any company that hires him will benefit greatly." and "As Technical Operations Director at Trusted Web Services Ltd, Richard was the backbone of the Technical Support department and an invaluable member of the company. I was always impressed with his professional approach to work and his problem solving skills – which he always executed calmly and efficiently. He has a great deal of in depth knowledge in his field and can be totally relied upon for his expertise. Richard helped me a great deal in securing some of the company’s largest accounts and it really was down to his management of the technical demands of these clients that we managed to gain them and keep them. I am confident Richard will continue to perform well in the future and take the very solid work ethics he has, to another company – our loss and definitely their gain. I will miss Richard being at the company, he really was a truly dedicated member of the team and I wish him continued success in his career."
