What People Say
As a member of my cybersecurity team at Whirlpool Corporation, Jordan demonstrated critical thinking and analytical skills while analyzing data from multiple input sources. His ability to derive meaningful insights from the data and verbally articulate them to the broader team advanced our cybersecurity posture. He was able to quickly learn new technologies, balance working on multiple initiatives simultaneously, and willingly took on new duties during times of short staffing. A specific example of Jordan's contribution was his transformation of our security reporting from indiscriminate data to insightful facts and trends. By way of this letter, I endorse Jordan as a candidate for anyone seeking a key team player with his skills.
Over the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure to be Jordan's mentor, coach, and leader. In this time, Jordan has grew from a Security Analyst to a Manager, with additional responsibilities. He has been presented with many challenges and projects that he has finished on-time or ahead of schedule. Jordan's key skills sets include: Exceptional technical skills, attention to detail, mentors staff members, good communication skills, ability to present to executive leadership, works well independently, has the ability to lead others, personable, positive influence for others, and has a passion for Cybersecurity. I would highly recommend Jordan for any team that shares his passion for Cybersecurity.
I had the privilege of working with Jordan for three years at Vero Orthopaedics. With over 90 employees and 15 physicians, Jordan was responsible for managing our network directly and our day to day IT needs. He is honest, loyal, dependable and always ensured the staff and physician matters were handled timely. He took the initiative to take on additional tasks without being required to and ensured our system was safe and secure at all times. I highly recommend Jordan without reservation to any employer.
Jordan is a great professional. Always open for feedback, eager for knowledge and active on exploring new ways of working to become more relevant and deliver greater value by protecting the organization.
Jordan single-handedly managed one of our larger, more demanding clients. And, not just on the technical front, but handled most of the Account Management activities, too. And, you know what? We rarely heard a peep out of that particular client. If you're looking for someone, you'd be silly to pass him up without at least getting to know him first.
Our business came to Jordan after an extremely unsatisfactory experience with another designer. Jordan listened to what we were looking for, made suggestions for additions that we didn't know existed and created a professional looking website which has greatly improved our business's internet presence. Even after creating the website Jordan has been there to answer questions, do changes to the website and fix any problems which have arose. Truly a professional to work with and I highly recommend them for your website design needs.
I was one of Jordan's stakeholders during his time at Whirlpool. He is very easy to work with and collaborates well to define and deliver the end solution. Jordan works well across different functional areas. He is able to dissect and understand data and relay the underlying reasoning/information to his stakeholders.
Jordan took over for a previous co-worker in grand fashion and has been able to solve any issue that has come his way. He demonstrates sound problem solving and decision making. Jordan is a tremendous asset! He provides our client with security and confidence that they lacked in their last technician.
