I have worked for and known Dr. Aaron Levy since 2001.  I trust him both personally and professionally, he is a true leader with insightful, meaningful guidance, supported by intelligent and holistic rationale.  Dr. Levy has been an inspirational and pragmatic pillar throughout my technical and executive career.

I served under his leadership at two large companies: first at Luminent, Inc., (NASDAQ) , a Fiber Optics telecommunications firm,  as Director of Operations while Dr. Levy served as president; then I served as President of a production manufacturing division at the San Manuel organization, one of the largest Native America Enterprises, while Dr. Levy served as the CEO, facilitating the tribe’s economic development.  

I currently serve as Engineering Director, with Honeywell International (Aerospace) where I’ve managed a global workforce for over the past 15 years throughout China, India, Mexico, Puerto Rico & across the USA, with responsibilities for Electronic Solutions for Space (International Space Station), Satellites, Defense (classified) and commercial aircraft simulations throughout Brazil, France, China & USA.  

Among all the top tier Industry leaders I’ve collaborated with over the years, and the hundreds of leadership courses I’ve taken, I can unequivocally state that I trust Dr. Levy’s consistently reliable and unique approach to any technical or managerial situation.  His methodical, impactful and multi-dimensional strategies are always geared towards yielding the desired results for both short-term and long-term improvements.   I have witnessed and relied upon Dr. Levy’s performance, integrity and leadership over the years and I am both confident and proud to recommend Dr. Levy to an organization looking to impact change immediately and successfully.
