“I've known Saul for more than 10 years, and he has definitely served as a mentor to me throughout my career. I had the great privilege of witnessing Saul take on critical relocation and consolidation projects with a confidence that can only come from experience and expertise. Saul truly lives by the project standard of "On time, and under budget" and has never failed to deliver as promised. Saul is truly a great leader who inspires those around him to elevate their performance.” September 2, 2010 “I worked very closely with Saul during Lyreco's decision to consolidate two distribution centres into one location in Kingston, Ontario. Saul's exacting project management skills combined with his ability to lead others to make important decisions meant that this very large assignment achieved its objectives of saving time and money.” May 5, 2010 “I have known Saul for 15 years and worked directly with him while at Pitney Bowes from 1994 – 1998 while he was Director, Logistics at the Central Distribution Centre. Having to manage a large employee base along with responsibility for all logistics operations including inventory, production, warehouse and transportation, Saul demonstrated his ability to delegate and multitask very successfully under sometimes stressful conditions. As HR Manager, I was impressed with Saul's strong leadershp and motivation skills. His abililty to achieve and exceed business objectives were due, in part, by his excellent communication skills and competitive drive. I would not hesitate to recommend Saul to any prospective client who is looking to optimize their supply chain and distribution operations.” March 23, 2010 “Saul reported to me for several years during a turn-around of a Division of Hoechst Celanese. During the time we worked together, we were in the process of redesigning and implementing new Planning systems including all of the components of Sales and Operations Planning. First as the manager of the Canadian supply chain group and later, having moved to the US, as the Division Planning Manager, Saul's input and leadership in the design, implementation and operation of our Sales and Operations Planning process was a key component in what was a very successful turn-around. His leadership and personal integrity were instrumental in helping to minimize the negative impact of a workforce reduction of more than 50% over 30 months without requiring forced reductions. His credibility and contribution to the division were a key component of our success. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Saul again if the opportunity presented itself.” October 1, 2009 "I have known Saul for almost 10 years in both a business and personal capacity. Saul is a person of high integrity and with a sound grasp of business matters and how to be effective in his responsibilities. His style is to involve all those that support his role, either as direct or indirect support or as peer associates. In so doing he builds consensus and a commitment to decisions and actions. Having had business dealings with Saul, he was always a solid support for the services we provided, while challenging us to provide the pertinent information required for the management of his responsibilities. We continued to stay in touch after the business relation ended and I have enjoyed his company and that of his family. He applies the same level of commitment and integrity to his personal life as he does to his business life. I would not hesitate to recommend Saul to any organization as he will bring experience, dedication, loyalty and commitment to all he does. In addition, he understands the need to work within a close knit group relying on peer responsibilities to achieve corporate goals in the most effective and efficient manner. Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity." August 29, 2009 John Lokker , C.A., CFE, Chief Executive Officer, National Traffic Services “I have know Saul since 1998, we were both part of the Senior Management Team at Lyreco. I became a first report of Saul in 2006 when I made the switch from the MIS team to Logistics. Saul takes a pragmatic approach to managing his team and operations, holding them accountable to deliver results while offering advice and objective suggestions to help you succeed. Saul was responsible for managing a large project which consisted of the consolidation of two distribution facilities into a single site that would service all of Ontario and Quebec. Needless to say the project was a great success and resulted in operational and financial gains that were immediate. His professional services would be of great value to any organization. It truly was a pleasure working with Saul as colleagues and as a first report.” July 5, 2009 “Saul is an accomplished Supply Chain Executive. His collaborative approach and tremendous logistics experience make him an expert in his field. I value his ability to assess, articulate and solve complex business challenges while maintaining everyone’s interest and integrity. He knows how to motivate and get the best out of his people. It is an honor to represent the interests of his firm and a pleasure to work with him since 1999 on a number of hiring initiatives.” June 15, 2009 | ||||||||||||||
