June 22, 2009  To whom it concerns,  I am writing to provide a recommendation for Brannon J. Carter.  I had the opportunity to work under BJ’s leadership for four years at xwave’s US division.  During that  time, I witnessed the organization grow and thrive amidst a variety of challenges including competitive  threats, corporate reorganizations, and multiple corporate mandated strategy changes.  BJ was the  anchor for our division, providing leadership, guidance and support that translated into double digit  annual growth and an entrepreneurial culture that valued results, client satisfaction, and employee  engagement.  As a leader, BJ was both demanding and encouraging.  He demanded the excellence that he knew his  team could bring, and he rewarded results in a variety of thoughtful ways.  His leadership style is based  on values – doing the right things for clients, partners and staff.  He encourages collaboration and is  highly effective at recognizing the strengths of others and building high performing teams.  As a member of his US leadership team, I had a first‐hand opportunity to see BJ perform and lead in  times of success and challenge.  He demonstrated a unique ability to quickly identify and understand the  salient points of a given circumstance.  He fostered an environment of open and honest communication  that allowed us to challenge him and each other as we worked through complex problems and  opportunities.  He recognized the strengths of his team – technical, experiential, and personal style, and  empowered people across the organization to make decisions.  And in times when one or more of us  failed in a particular circumstance, he focused on learning and growing.  Finally, BJ recognizes the responsibility that comes with leadership.  He sees his responsibility as not just  a corporate growth or revenue mandate, not as just stewardship of the clients and employees of the  division, but to the broader group – the families of employees and the community in which we work.   Any organization that is seeking a strong, thoughtful, dynamic leader would be well served to consider  BJ Carter.  I make this recommendation without hesitation and would be happy to discuss my  experiences and views regarding his leadership style and effectiveness at your convenience.  Sincerely,    Nick Pappas  207‐838‐7802  npappas@abilisne.com
