With skilled acumen, Pete worked with demanding personalities to ensure that the desired essentials, as well as the miniscule requests, were delivered promptly and according to specifications. But, most importantly, he did it with his kind, respectful, charismatic personality by which he won leadership respect and created strong teams with "we can do anything together" mentalities. It was an enormous project - but we hired the right person for the job.
