Colleague – As Integration Center Manager, our teams worked together to provide software releases.
, Quality Manager, Qimonda - Porto DC (colleague)
“While we worked together at Qimonda I remember thinking "How can he manage it? Always travelling from place to place, being "there" in all our major rollouts?". It didn't matter in which part of the world the "action" was running, Ian was there. All these experiences gave him the ability to improve the projects performance, from project to project, since he was able to early identify potential risks and raise preventive actions. I've worked more closely with Ian during Porto and Richmond fab rollouts. Ian helped to organize the work between the different involved teams making sure that the problems were overcome. He was there since the beginning until the end, from problem analysis/root cause identification until solution implementation. Hard worker, very committed and responsible. Great leadership skills and always a smile on the face :-).” March 25, 2009
