What Clients Say
“Auxilium’s agile approach helped our teams make faster progress with better collaboration. We didn’t expect results to come so quickly!”
Gary has very effective programs and is an excellent facilitator. I would not hesitate to engage him or his company’s services again in the future.
Gary has a way of organizing and presenting complex ideas about project leadership that is easy to understand and inspirational. His teaching is based on experience and best practices. He distills concepts down to a practical core of recommendations that can be readily applied after the class.
I know Gary from his work as an engineering consultant at Niles Audio. During his tenure at Niles, Gary exhibited a very strong and deep knowledge of the engineering function and particularly the product development process.
Gary is one of those rare people that combines engineering expertise with exceptional administrative, people, and management skills. He adapted to unpredictable management decisions while leading diverse and often difficult personalities to achieve positive results.
A “10” in terms of content and presentation. I learned much in a short time.
I highly recommend Gary. He is a very skilled and professional trainer.
