One Manager's Opinion

Others......

Mathew Barter

Senior Manager - IT Engineering at Vantiv

Ed was very key in identifying stakeholders, building relationships with them as well as researching and documenting the requirements for this our projects. 

He brought constant feedback to my development team, which was critical while navigating the roadmap of never ending one off requirements… I really believe a big part of our success in moving our projects forward was Ed bird dogging the big and little details. 

Ed has a great knack of interacting with everyone on our projects from VP’s all the way down to the associate engineers/developers. He listens, has empathy and follows up with everyone. The best thing is, he treats everyone as if they are important and he is genuine about it.

I was very fortunate to get to know Ed Barkley as a person and work with him extensively on a BPM project.
