Collection Of Recommendation Letters From Clients And Peers In Reference To Mark Foy Page 2

ADVERTISEMENT

Mark quickly emerged as a leader among is peer group. He was highly successful in his role as Development Team Leader.
Excellent communication and leadership skills created a highly functional team who accomplished a tremendous amount of
quality work in very short timelines.
As this was my first major project, Mark acted as a mentor to me. His experience and expertise guided me to the successful
completion of a very difficult task. I depended on him for coaching with regard to communication skills as well as strategy and
vision creation.
The project had a large impact to the business. Therefore, there was pressure to implement quickly. The pre-chosen software
did not accommodate functionality requirements. Mark presented several options with both pro and cons. This enabled
executive management to make informed decisions with regard to customizations. Mark always explores every option without
judgment.
Mark has the ability to transition from a technical role to a management role where appropriate. The skill to "bridge the gap"
between the technical and the functional make him an excellent facilitator between IT and the business. Rarely does a person
possess this exceptional talent.
Overall, Mark was a tremendous contributor to the success of the Service implementation. He successfully completes work
either through individual effort or through the leadership of others. He works with the highest level of honesty and integrity.
The quality of his work consistently exceeds expectations. I highly recommend him and any resource that he endorses.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take the opportunity to describe the work that Vitalita Consulting, and, specifically, Mark Foy, performed for me
as Manager of Applications Development at Access Graphics.
Mark has a firm grasp of technical details and takes the time to document them. Mark is also highly skilled at recognizing
issues that require escalation to management for decision-making. Typically, Mark tackles this by presenting a number of well
thought-out options with pros and cons to aid the decision maker in making choices and in understanding and communicating
the implications of that choice.
Mark is an excellent organizer and deals effectively both with technical people and with those to whom he reports. Superior
under stress, Mark actually appears to become more calm and more patient as stress escalates or conflicts emerge, making
him an extremely valuable lead team member who can inspire excellent performance, ensure accountability, and build bridges
even under duress.
In short, I would consider any company very lucky to have Mark join the team, as he is virtually a shoo-in for creating the
atmosphere and structure necessary to bring in a successful project. Witness the success of the huge, multi-million dollar
upgrade of the highly customized Oracle Financials applications for Y2K, which was delivered on schedule, under budget, and
with high quality. Mark’s qualities and work ethic underpinned that success. I would highly recommend Mark in any project that
involves complexity, tough time constraints, or high quality requirements.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Dopp
Manager of Applications Development
