Rafael Maldonado

“I worked with Rafael aligning him with Gartner resources. Over the last year I have found Rafael to have one of the greatest minds to technology I've personally encountered. He is constantly on the cutting-edge, and Rafael combines his industry knowledge with his passion for technology to always consider every possible direction to drive the business forward. Even with all this in mind to Rafael people always come first, be it the employees he works with or his company's clients. His energy and vigor is infectious, and the relationships Rafael builds with those he works with goes far beyond professional courtesy. I always look forward to our conversations - I learn something new from him every time we speak! The time working with Rafael was a privilege and I hope for the opportunity to collaborate with him again.”

“I worked with Rafael as a Manager / Sr. Manager at top tier Consulting Firms several years ago. I have focused my career around Oracle Applications, although Rafael's expertise goes far beyond Oracle. If I needed the BEST answer - the absolute TRUTH - when estimating or guessing would not do, Rafael was my go-to man. He knew how to Optimize a Database perfectly. He knew - dead on - what hardware / software was needed 'behind the scenes' to make a project, like an Oracle ERP project work (e.g., Database Servers, Middleware Tier Servers, Application Servers - all that stuff I don't understand - he knew the details COLD). In my opinion, he's the best overall IT person I've worked with because he KNOWS his stuff. I haven't spoken with him in years. I miss his expertise. He was the best - and I have ZERO DOUBT - knowing his lust for knowledge, detail and acumen for understanding it all - that he still is the best. HIGHLY recommend! ----Dave Beam, Director - Cognizant, Oracle Solutions ”
