Managers

"Jerry was key to our successful completion of an Internal Audit and the closure of several findings.  He spent countless hours collaborating with other senior managers, our Risk Management teams, and others.  As the subject matter expert on ITAM, his expertise was critical in solving all open issues."

"Jerry manages a very diverse team which is geographically dispersed across many different time zones.  This is necessary due to Citi's IT inventory spread out all over the world.  Skip level discussions with his direct and indirect staff all offer the same conclusion, they all love working with and for Jerry.  He is personable, sets realistic expecations, and changes his management style dependent upon what is needed and from who it is needed from.  He is very good at getting the best out of his staff and in collobarations with others."


Peers

"One of Jerry's strengths is his ability to pull together representation across Citi to identify what is needed to meet Citi Corporate standards.  Jerry is always there to discuss issues regarding changes to our tools, processes or data and he has never steered us wrong."

"I have been privileged to work with Jerry for some time and have always found Jerry to be attentive, considerate, and fair.  He is the person who will make time for you if needed.  I see Jerry as a fundamental part of Citi and someone who myself, and others, find to be effective and respected."


Staff

"My own successes could not have been accomplished without the leadership and guidance provided by my manager.  At various times, he has been a teacher, a coach, and a mentor.  He is far and away the best manager I have ever had and I'm happy to have worked with and for him over the past 15 years."
