Recommendations

Adam Michelson, CMO

"I had the great privilege of working with Ray at Alleviate Financial. As a Chief, he was focused, insightful and was a wonderful mentor to his staff. As a technologist, he was brilliant and dedicated to processes and procedures that got the job done. As a colleague, he was a great partner in the truest sense of the word -- open, authentic and supportive."

George King, Principal

"I worked with Ray on a project at a large credit union and his role was to provide onsite interim IT leadership during a search for a new CIO. Mission accomplished! I found Ray to have excellent technology and credit union experience and skills. Moreover, Ray understands the importance of collaboration and teamwork to get things done. His communication and organizational skills are outstanding. I’d hire him again as an IT leader or consultant when the next opportunity arises."

David Malone, Director

"I have known Raymond for over 10 years now and I can say that he brings a unique approach to technology. A blend of common sense combined with deep technology skill sets that make Raymonde a highly successful Information Technology Executive!!!"

Eileen Rivera, Former CEO

"Raymonde has a vast skillset in technology and was able to improve our systems. He negotiated contracts and agreements with business partners, bringing more automation, efficiencies and cost reductions to our Credit Union. He re-organized the staffing in the Technology Division by bringing new talent into our organization, identifying educational needs, and re-aligning job responsibilities based on individual strengths. He developed service standards and made expectations clear for his team by putting tracking systems in place to monitor his employees’ performance as well as his systems’ performance."

Theo Byrne, Vice Chairman

"Raymonde was an outstanding and talented Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for Skyone Federal Credit Union. He frequently reported to the Board providing relevant and timely updates of critical information necessary for the Board to make informed decisions on important matters. He was highly effective and efficient at resolving internal and NCUA audit findings which threatened Skyone's cyber security. He worked tirelessly to develop Skyone's patches and improved the organization's overall security posture."

Raymonde's ability to understand business needs and efficiently translate them into technical requirements is truly unparalleled. This unique skill has not only proven beneficial to our projects, but has also streamlined our team's workflow, thereby significantly contributing to the overall productivity and success of our organization."
