November 22, 2011, Leslie worked with Guglielmo in the same group

The first time I met Les, we were involved in a project in Siberia. Weather was very bad with temperature close to -40C. Despite this, Les was able to establish a very warm and trustable relationship with both the internal and client's team. Les brings with himself decades of experience in leading projects and people, that he can develop to the best, showing a wonderful mix of "stick to rules" and good sense approach. It's thanks to Les that I was able to find out what I was looking for to develop my professional career! Thanks, Les.

Excellent project manager - technically skilled, great at dealing with people, realistic whilst pushing towards challenging goals - I would say it is no understatement that I would not be where I am today without Les's guidance in the early stages of my change career.

Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach and mentor, but I did when I worked with Leslie at FIS Global. I had the pleasure to know him and collaborate with him for a few months, but they were enough to understand how Leslie could be supportive and full committed to making the difference in his project managers team.
I was particularly impressed by Leslie’s ability to handle even the toughest clients with his calm even in the most critical situation. That skill often takes years to develop among clients, usually in very challenging projects, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him.
He was able to bring to the team his footprint as a skilled professional senior project and program manager, helping me and the other members to find the right way to address different kinds of unexpected scenarios which could be faced in nowadays projects. His enthusiastic, optimistic attitude is contagious and serves to energize the team. I have always thought he is a natural leader who has the gift of identifying each team member’s primary talents and bringing out the best in each one focusing and motivating the person as a human being first and then as a professional.
Leslie is not only a committed hard worker but also, he is the best story teller I have ever met: I still remember our lunches together where he used to tell me detailed episodes he lived in his previous job experience; precious teaching stories which could give me the right advice to address similar events in projects I was assigned.
Leslie is an asset for any company and as a member of his team in FIS Global I am grateful to have had the chance to be part of his delivery team

Les is an excellent leader of projects and people. During the time I worked with Les we successfully delivered a project which had significant issues and was close to being closed. Les' leadership, expertise and stakeholder management transformed the project and resulted in a successful delivery, meeting the proposed operational benefits. The project would not have been a success without Les.

Les has been an amazing mentor and role model to me, helping me to gain a recent promotion. Les demonstrates a genuine belief in people, knowing how to motivate others to be better and improve their own performance, he certainly did for me.
