Recommendations for Gary from his

“Working with Gary has always been a positive and productive experience. Gary has the wisdom, insight, and tools to really focus attention on what is most important and to bring a unique clarity to challenging situations. He has a real gift for discovering the strengths of organizations and individuals while being able to point out the weaknesses in a constructive and helpful way. I would highly recommend Gary as a skilled consultant, adviser, and guide for both business strategy and tactics, or personal success.” June 27, 2009

Sean Boiarski, Product Manager, Now Software

worked indirectly for Gary at Ralston Consulting Inc.

“I consider Gary a mentor, an advisor, a collaborator, a colleague, a go-to resource for tough business problems, and most importantly a friend. I consistently characterize Gary as one of the clearest thinkers I have ever met. He has a way of clearing all preconceived notions and approaching every business issue with a clear mind so that he can see all of the forces in play. This helps people to make explicit what is causing the business problem. From there, he is able to help people make difficult decisions quickly and without second-guessing themselves. It is for all of these reasons that I heartily recommend Gary for any kind of strategic planning, business planning, or management decision support that a company could need.” December 14, 2008
