They are very smart, phenomenally responsive to the needs of the business, and can get it done.” Bob Goodwin Director, RPM Billing and Collections AOL		“Our impact at AOL was a direct result of the AOL leadership of the team led by Gonier and Collier.

“In 2003, TARP conducted a research study designed to benchmark American Express Financial Advisor satisfaction with the service they receive from the American Express Client Services Organization. Insights obtained on the reasons for dissatisfaction were perceived by management as providing specific, timely and actionable direction for service improvement. In fact, I would characterize overall results as among the most actionable we have experienced. As a result, the initiatives already put into place are expected to start the Financial Advisor satisfaction and loyalty "train" moving in a much more positive direction, a change which we hope to measure in the next wave of interviews..” Lee F. Connerton Director, Customer Service American Express Financial Advisors		"Without the contact center expertise this team had, we would not have been able to deliver the high caliber products we did. They understand the business holistically and were able to provide the right direction for our projects. They were well ahead of the industry in terms of integrating effective sales training with technology systems with products and offers - a very rare combination, even in the most advanced contact center organizations. On top of that, their work ethic was second to none. One of the best, most innovative and impactful teams I've ever worked with!" Chuck Stolfa Former VPAD and Project Lead Digitas
