Mario Wanderley is a world-class entrepreneur, finance and operating executive and deal maker. For almost two decades, he has worked as my CFO/COO and partner in building numerous businesses in the U.S. and overseas and negotiating transactions with leading technology companies, banks and private equity firms. Mario repeatedly demonstrated an uncanny ability to quickly evaluate complex operating and financial issues and to present creative solutions in often unrealistically short time frames. His tenacity, integrity, intelligence, negotiating and managerial skills made him an invaluable partner.

He was instrumental in helping to drive and manage aggressive organic growth, acquisition, integration and office co-location.

As a Board Member for two companies where I was CEO, Rob Brierley's advice was welcomed by his colleagues and the management team. He worked tirelessly to understand each Company’s operations in order to help align the desired strategy with the needed operational execution to achieve those strategic objectives. He offered a unique perspective by always balancing short and long-term initiatives against the desired strategic outcomes. Rob is admired by most, respected by all and has a unique blend of strong financial expertise and leadership qualities that makes him an excellent C-level executive or board member.

Ken Dixon knows how to set goals, measure outcomes and drive performance. I’ve watched him do that for both individuals and businesses alike over the course of almost two decades. His passion, energy, focus and objectivity, as well as his sense of humor, would make him an exceptional contributor to any organization. As the founder and leader of my own business, I hired him, worked with him, promoted him and benefited from his honesty and wise counsel. If I were starting or growing a company today, Ken’s a guy that I’d want on my team again.
