“During the seven years that I have known Barry, five of those years in which we worked together, he is knowledgeable, great at problem-solving, and most importantly, he is compassionate, caring and witty.

When it comes to customers, Barry is professional and maintains a calm attitude towards whatever he is dealing with (and I have seen him deal with and solve REALLY big problems). He has a phenomenal approach to problem-solving for his customers and he won’t quit until he finds a solution. If the solution doesn’t work, he will be the first to offer up alternatives and to get folks to see a different perspective on the situation. Barry has a wonderful reputation when it comes to customer service.

As a mentor and coach, first and foremost, he strives to get to know and connect with the person he is mentoring. Building relationships is very important to Barry so that he can help the mentee grow in ways they never thought possible. I’ve been witness to him mentoring Junior Developers and turning them into amazing Technical Leads, mentoring Business Analysts in writing better system requirements, and assisting Delivery Managers in prioritization and de-escalating issues with customers, just to name a few.

Barry has a plethora of knowledge in many different domains and products. Not only can he offer mentoring folks on their career paths, but also can assist solving issues related to software implementations, managing multi-disciplinary teams and executive functions. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention what a data guru he is as well. Barry can find the data that his customer is trying to retrieve, analyze it quickly and put it in a summary format in order to help identify mitigation strategies for things that may not be working well.

I strongly recommend Barry to anyone looking to grow their business and/or their career.”

“I'm truly grateful to Barry for his coaching and mentorship. Every session has been insightful, engaging and motivating. Barry has a true talent for helping you recognize, embrace and build on your strengths and contributions. His passionate belief in a person's potential along with his many years of leadership experience is a great combination for building your confidence in achieving your goals.

Barry challenges you to think outside the box while providing practical insights and actionable steps. His support extends beyond the session with summaries of discussion topics, suggestions on related reading materials, approaches and methodologies as well as next steps.

If you're looking for someone who can empower you to reach your career goals I highly recommend Barry as your business coach and mentor.”

“Barry was and remains an excellent mentor giving me insights on how to improve within my role and preparing me for my professional future. He is a strong leader who cares about and invests in people's professional and personal development.”
