“You are a peacemaker. You brought a quiet intensity which allowed us to progress and reach closure in very difficult situations. How do you do that?”
“I do not use the term ‘peacemaker’ lightly. This is not easy work. If these skills can be acquired, I can imagine few investments that would pay off more than to do so. Peacemakers are invaluable. Seek them out; grow them; reward them; trust them.”

“Joe helped us fundamentally change how we thought and talked about being a strategic alliance manager! He also showed us how to objectively layout value impediments in order to remove barriers to value-creation. This alone made the time spent tremendously worthwhile.” (see summary of EMEA SRM training)
Kirk Wilkinson
Last manager at Hewlett-Packard, assumed my role when I left

“Joe has been a tremendous asset to HP and helped set the stage for the business to rally around IPG’s SAP relationship and focus their entire enterprise solutions business on the SAP Market. This would not have happened if not for Joe and his approach to and his contribution in this position. Joe brings a unique set of wisdom, experience, knowledge and skills to the role of alliance manager and delivering beyond the scope of this position, increasing the strategic breadth, depth and importance of alliancing within IPG.” (see Kirk’s exit evaluation of me)
Empowered webs-of-relationships make the impossible inevitable.
