RECOMMENDATIONS Jesus Sanchez Valence Global Commodity Director P&SM, Volvo Construction Equipment Bill is a very motivated team member and always focused on the needed results. He has outstanding team management skills - so his team always delivers. Stephen Hammill Director Support, A&T Lingong, Volvo Construction Equipment I worked with Bill on a number of purchasing cases. Primarily cost down and strategic purchasing activities. Bill brings a very personable approach to buying activities that brings down barriers and allows easy goal completion. Olli Matikainen Director of Engineering ,Volvo Motor Graders, Volvo Construction Equipment Bill has a good eye for opportunities and improvements. I've always found Bill to be an effective team player, and he takes a practical approach while looking for innovative ways to improve. Bill is able to work at the 'ground level' while also keeping a view on the strategic picture. I would heartily recommend Bill. Dave Ross VP Engineering, Volvo Motor Graders, Volvo Construction Equipment Bill was a colleague of mine at Volvo Motor Graders. As VP Engineering I often had interfaces with Bill and the purchasing group as we developed new products. Bill worked as a Commodity Manager and was sourcing many of the parts we needed in our projects. I would say that Bill was extremely diligent in his work and brought to the table the facts of the situation. He was upfront and clear on what was needed to get a good deal with the vendors he was assigned. Bill has a good work ethic, is a good listener and not afraid to get his hands dirty when needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to any organization needing skills in this area. Steve Gray General Manager, Manuli Hydraulics I worked with Bill as a supplier to Volvo Construction Equipment. During our 4 year business relationship, Bill was an excellent Commodity Manager. Our relationship at times was at odds but Bill always negotiated forcefully, but fairly. His supply chain knowledge along with his vision of execution was spot on. I miss working with Bill and wish that all Managers performed at his level of capability. Brian Lowe Product and Communications Manager Volvo Motor Graders, Volvo Construction Equipment As the marketing guy, I worked with Bill on many projects. I found that he not only had the companys best interest in mind but he also listened and respected the voice of the customer. A rare quality indeed.
