Raymond Makenbach

I'll let others speak on my behalf:

Ron Smith, Development Manager, RBC Royal Bank
"In 23 years of industry experience I've met few with Ray's degree of commitment, but even fewer (none?) with his sense of integrity. An asset to any team."

Adam Lenner, Technical Systems Analyst, Royal Bank of Canada
"Everyone should have a chance to work alongside somebody like Ray. In my admittedly brief career, I've seen people that are content to make the easy choices, sweep problems under the rug, and ignore the potential long term pain in pursuit of short term gains. Ray isn't one of those people. He isn't afraid to face challenges head on, and make the difficult decisions that are required for long term success. He confronts each situation with a work ethic that has to be seen to be believed (Ray without a Blackberry in his hand is a rare site), and the support that he provides to his employees inspires them to go above and beyond, much like Ray himself."

Nazario Marchitto, Change Manager, RBC Royal Bank
"I have had the privilege of working with Ray over the last 8 years. In that time, I have found his approach to leadership and technical dedication to developing and mentoring talent to be unparalleled. Ray is very quick to understand all areas of the organization, and has been extremely diligent and very professional in my dealings with him. Ray is very service oriented and believes in building strong working relationships. As a Manager his role was very important in building trust with his service providers and other support groups. He is a true asset to any organization and I have enjoyed my years working with him. I can easily recommend him personally as a friend and professionally as a colleague."
