We worked together with crazy
challenges. For me, I learned
a lot from you, and also enjoyed
working with your sprinkles of good
humor. I am very grateful having worked with you. It is when you have a good team and you feel good coming daily basis to work. Julieta Fernandez - BOA |
Last fall Bill joined my project,
involving moving from one vendor to
another vendor. The timeline
for changing vendors was extremely
short. Bill rapidly acclimated
himself to the project beginning to
add value in his first few days.
Bill's deep engagement in organizing
an approach, and defining critical
steps, provided direction to
employees challenged to chart the
way in a very overwhelming
environment. his organization
skills and ability to hone in on key
deliverables was very impressive. John Evans - WF | ||
“Bill is a dedicated project manager
who is meticulous during test
cycles. The attention he pays to
details highlights issues early
enough during testing so they do not
mushroom into huge production
problems later. He's also innovative
and keen to learn new tools to
improve his productivity. Bill also
prepared and conducted education on
an area which he had no prior
expertise but took it in his stride
to produce a great piece of work.”

his leadership skills and always
took the initiative to develop a
plan when presented with testing
challenges. He has always been
instrumental in paving the way to
ensure our testing was thorough,
complete and that we delivered a
quality product for our customers.

“I worked with William almost 2
years, and his leadership and
knowledge of the test process were
key to the project success. His
ability to interact with different
stakeholders took my attention.
Great manager and person.”

Hello Bill, I am sad for your release. You have been a nice PTM for all the projects I have worked with you. Surely whenever I see Preferred Rewards banner somewhere or in bank, I will remember you. Regards, Nindiya Chandran - BOA |
In my career, this was one of the
best projects I've ever worked on
because of you. Will Ballance - WF | ||
“I worked with Bill for several
years on various large projects in
the area of central planning for the
IBM ISC Division. Bill was the test
manger on all the projects and had
to work with folks from around the
world and different time zones Each
IBM Division had there own local
systems and had to feed into a
central engine. He developed a
complex test schedules via Lotus and
was used by the world wide group for
Integration Test, UAT Test and also
a Operbility test which was used for
ensuring the move to production for
the install when in with no
problems. Bill was on the east caost
and I am on the west coast, and
during the testing , I had a daily
6:00 am mtg with the group and
discussed the testing. With over
thirty folks or more on the testing
Bill ran a tight ship. Over these
years, I learned a lot from Bill
both work and personal. If I was a
manger of a company, and was
interviewing Bill, I would hire him
in a heart beat.”

You’ve been a tremendous asset to our team and I wish you well in your journeys and I know the Lord will be with you! Richard Brubaker - BOA |
I found you easy to work with on
our project, which has gone
well. For example -
deferring to expertise where
appropriate, while bringing up
issues where it affects our
timelines. You've done
well dealing with unexpected
developments, without blowing
things out of proportion, or
panicking. Your informal
style has encouraged people to
speak up when they have issues.

“I had pleasure of working with Bill
at IBM. He is an outstanding project
manager. As project manager he was
not only responsible to organize the
team to produce the deliverables but
also to manage the relationships
with technical peers. He has a great
communication and knows when is time
to talk and when is time to listen.”

You know this already but wanted to say it anyways – you have been a strong pillar for the PLT and PR programs and have been more than a testing lead for me. You’ve been a great SME, friend, and someone I can just bounce ideas off of. I will really miss working with you on this project but I hope our paths cross again soon. Definitely keep in touch. Minh Vuong - BOA Program Manager | |||
I was on LEAN team, Since I've known you, you have been the best manager I work with, we really going to miss you. . Thanks for what you teach us. The best to you!! Liz Leal - BOA |
