Mario T. Anderson, MBA

Jerry Smessaert, Program Manager, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"Mario is an honest, energetic, thoughtful, and results-oriented technical leader. I use those words quite deliberately as they are the key criteria that I most highly value in my colleagues. Mario recently completed his MBA at Georgia State, while managing a full load of diverse & complex data center engagements. This says a lot about his ability and his time management skills, but it doesn't convey the energy and passion he brought to tackling this major undertaking."

"It was my pleasure to write the initial letter of recommendation for the program and it's an even greater pleasure to recognize it's completion.  Mario is intensely customer-focused and works to ensure that he marshals the appropriate resources within our company to deliver high-quality professional services."

Chad C. Adams, Director, KPMG Strategy

"Mario is a strong IT infrastructure resource who has the technical and management skills to lead projects from inception to completion. I worked alongside Mario on numerous occasions while at Accenture and Booz Allen and can attest to his professional work style and competence. Mario is very knowledgeable with data centers, capacity management, server hardware, and virtualization software."

Reginald D. Wilkinson, Sr., Sr. Solution Architect, VCE

"Mario is an outstanding contributor to his organization. He is professional and always in control. I have worked with Mario in many capacities. His overall knowledge of the product and his customer-facing skills are well above what you would find today in IT professionals.

He always seeks the best solutions for his projects and has impressed me with the way he handles adverse situations. Mario would be an excellent addition to any team he decides to join as you would not be disappointed."

Jeff Flanigan, Master Business Consultant, Hewlett Packard

"Mario was one of the people that I relied upon during our tenure at Accenture. Whenever I was putting together a team to deliver an engagement, Mario was one of the first people that I wanted. He brought a level of professionalism and technical acumen and he can communicate very effectively with both technical and non-technical internal and external project customers.

The last point is key as this shows his versatility in regards to being able to wear a technical and non-technical/business hat which enables him to look at issues (potential and current) from both of those perspectives and come up with a viable solution. I have had the pleasure of working with him at Accenture and would love to have the opportunity to work with him again!"

Dennis Carden, Kyndryl FSS CTO - IBM Distinguished Engineer, Kyndryl

During our time at Kyndryl, Mario was an invaluable member of the team whom I consistently relied upon. When assembling a team for project delivery, Mario was my go-to person. His professionalism, technical expertise, and exceptional communication skills set him apart. Mario demonstrated a unique ability to effectively engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, showcasing his versatility in wearing both hats seamlessly.

This dual perspective allowed him to address issues comprehensively and deliver viable solutions. Working with Mario was a pleasure, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with him again in the future!
