“I can't begin to describe the amount of work Dennis completed in such a short time frame. His ability to implement the number of changes was remarkable considering … a work from home platform. The biggest challenge was developing the personal relationships and trust of each business line. It was remarkable how quickly he formed those bonds in a very trying times. Much of that can be contributed to his past experience and knowledge of variable pay plans. He was able to demonstrate to the leaders how this common framework he envisioned would be an asset not only to them but the entire organization. His development of the annual review process for the variable plan plans was instrumental in paving the way for compensation being a partner for all these groups. He streamlined the approval process, especially the short duration plans which crop up on a regular basis. Having the strong tie with Finance and General Counsel allowed this to occur. Dennis has added much to the overall success of the Compensation Unit and HR.

Dennis is also a Marine Corps Veteran and brings intangible and tangible skills in effectiveness, urgency, ownership, leadership and more that 99% of applicants and employees do not have.
