LinkedIn recommendations I received from my time at Magellan:

“Ed has extensive industry knowledge and a deep understanding of the supporting systems and their interactions. He is a skillful project manager and demonstrates the expertise that can only come from years of experience. He has a strong proficiency with producing technical and operations documentation. He is a team player and works well with customer and internal stakeholders. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again and offer the highest endorsement of him.” Bruce Slough. Bruce was my manager at Magellan

“I’ve worked with Ed for the last year at Magellan. Ed is a fun guy, always positive and enjoyable to be around. He has been most helpful keeping the team organized and on task despite our efforts to the contrary! He is flexible and always eager to jump in when needed. He’s been quick to offer suggestions for process improvement as we implemented our latest client. I would always welcome the opportunity to work with Ed!” Sandy Townsend – CSM, CSPO. Sandy was a co-worker at Magellan

“Ed is a valuable team member who has on more than one occasion helped me to achieve impossible deadlines to support our customers. His affable demeanor and vast knowledge make him one of my top go-to people since I have been with Magellan. We knew each other from time spent working at ACS and Ed has graciously helped mentor me now that we are together again at Magellan. I would recommend Ed for any opportunity that requires a team player who is a servant leader who possesses deep industry knowledge.” Ken Wright. Ken was a co-worker at Magellan
