Selected written comments from management and clients:
"Wayne worked as interim CTO during a personnel transition. The
chief mission was to keep our ASP systems functioning and to keep
projects on track. Not only did Wayne achieve this, he additionally
identified areas where remediation was required and worked with our team
to develop plans to address things. Moreover, he developed an
infrastructure upgrade plan that was better than our previously existing
plan, and which could be achieved at lower cost. Wayne is highly
ethical, principled and an excellent diagnostician, he works well with
the people above and below the position at which he enters an
organization, he is cost-conscious. I recommend him unreservedly."
"Wayne Gura is clear-headed and practical. He knows how to zero in on
issues, develop practical recommendations, and facilitate actionable
solutions."
"Your efforts were among the most critical in delivering this project ahead of schedule and under budget while establishing a state-of-the-art facility destined to be the showpiece of the corporation."
"I appreciate that your contribution extended beyond your IT responsibilities into support of the manufacturing engineering, quality and manufacturing areas as well."
"I often used your progress as an indicator of the project's progress in [other] areas ..."
"...you did a great job of coordinating the efforts of your Irish and UK counterparts with our design firm and outside contractors."
