"I was delighted to work with Shawn on the IM & IT Management Committee Governance project. I approached Shawn for this engagement because I believed he had the right combination of expert knowledge and project management skills to deliver what we required within the specified time frame. Rarely do we deliver projects on time in HRM- this was an exception. I enjoy working with Shawn. He demonstrated the utmost integrity, and I always feel he genuinely has the clients' best interests at heart. Shawn does not take on a job unless he can give a 110% to it. He sets very high standards for himself and his work. I admire and respect this, Shawn. It will be one of the major reasons I will continue to engage him in future work."

"I worked with Shawn both as a colleague at Xwave and as a business partner when he was at PwC— doing everything he can to make his customers successful drives Shawn. If customer success is his first name, integrity is his middle name. When Shawn commits, he follows through - every time. If a tough situation arises, and I have an opportunity to take on the challenge with Shawn, I would not hesitate to do so."
"I have known Shawn professionally for over 15 years as a colleague, coworker, and client. He has proven himself a valuable asset in his leadership and ability to deliver across multiple disciplines in complex situations involving clients with competing priorities. His ability to think strategically, focus on the bigger picture, and then translate this into an easy-to-understand deliverable, plan, and or roadmap to ensure buy-in from clients at all levels. His commitment to professionalism, attention to quality and detail, and his record for delivery are unimpeachable."
