Equifax Customer Recognition
Equifax- June 2012
Following a Business Information Services project for a global banking group.
"Through a drawn out and often challenging bespoke implementation for [banking group], Dave was a key member of the project team proving himself reliable whilst always maintaining a high degree of professionalism. However, when [banking group] encountered system issues of their own on the night of implementation Dave's contribution truly went above and beyond the call of duty. Working under stressful conditions, in a fix-on-fail situation, Dave worked with [banking group], whilst also marshalling and coordinating Equifax resource, almost without a break through a seventy two hour period. Dave's focus, tremendous flexibility and willingness to put the client first enabled [banking group] to resolve issues to a more than satisfactory outcome. Feedback from [banking group] since has specifically praised Dave on his tremendous 'can do' attitude. An excellent outcome for Equifax with this important strategic customer." -
Equifax Chairmen's Circle of Excellence - Team Nomination
Equifax- February 2012
Nomination from the UK Build Manager for a Insurance project I led as the Lead Architect:
"The collaborative efforts of some of the UK's outstanding technology expertise needs to be rewarded at the highest level.
The team operated with laser focus, long hours and challenging timelines in optimizing costs, and not failing the customer, while being able to design and deliver truly innovative solutions to a problem which seemed initially intractable.
This genuine commitment to Equifax's central values of Customer Focus, Innovation and Efficiency are to be commended."
