Mitch Wienick, CEO, Kelleher Associates, Inc.
“I have known Ed for over 20 years. We started together at Sun and actually wound up reporting to him for several years. I watched him step through various Director/VP positions. As a sales manager he was strategic, yet drove revenue, had superb hires and put the rest of us to shame with his attention to detail. His sense of team building set the standard at Sun. Later Ed became a General Manager for a telecommunications firm and over the last five years or so became one of the best free agent assets a firm in need of sales or general management coaching . . . could attach themselves to.”

“I worked for Ed during his entire tenure at Neoware, and found him to be a very capable CEO. He understood the software and hardware development process, but was comfortable delegating and never micro-managed. Ed navigated Neoware through an extremely difficult period where ASP’s dropped in half due to competition from low-cost PC’s. I’ve stayed in touch with Ed as he has continued his career.”
