Paul Ruddy

Paul is full of energy and seems to have an endless capacity to take on projects. He knows his subject (Information Systems) very well and consistently identifies opportunities to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and maintain our center on the technological cutting edge, all of which provides us with a competitive advantage. Paul is an avid learner and I have seen him absorb operational and administrative processes, then integrate his new knowledge to design better technological solutions. He seizes every opportunity to attend educational program and recently completed a project management training course.
As a member of the Management Team, his contributions are plentiful and welcome. He is not afraid to take an “out-of-the-box” approach, regardless of the established consensus. Paul takes a global view of the organization, understands his department only is a part of the whole and readily crosses functional barriers to share his observations and suggestions in a non-confrontational manner. Conversely, he responds well to critique, accepts responsibility for his errors and strives to incorporate feedback to continuously improve. In addition to his full time job, Paul maintains his own consulting portfolio to satisfy his entrepreneurial thirst.
In summary, Paul is very social, participative, creative, courageous and knowledgeable. He demonstrates leadership skills I have rarely encountered in my 30-year career.

Paul is one of the most talented and passionate business executives I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His expertise extends well beyond IT and into the areas of operations and business intelligence which have been instrumental in helping to make strategic marketing decisions which deliver significant results. He pursues projects with a relentless work ethic and attention to detail that always deliver on deadline and with the highest standards of excellence. He has been an important mentor in my own career and I highly recommend working with him if you are given the opportunity.
