Moreover, he is one of those rare IT executives who has the aptitude and willingness to stand in the shoes of the business units he supports. As a result, he partnered with the Sales organization to successfully implement significant improvements in tools we used to run the business. Our largest customers commented these tools were best in class in the travel industry. We could not have achieved this fantastic result without his leadership. Jordan would be an asset to any organization seeking an IT executive capable of effectively advocating for business change through technology." * - Patrick Mitchell, Vice President, Global Sales Strategy & Planning, Norwegian Cruise Line -"I have always found Jordan to be available, thoughtful and participatory in my business issues. His technology knowledge is solid and he has the added talent of understanding business issues and solutions. In regard to our marketing efforts, Jordan has added value to the building of Norwegian's customer and prospect database as well as to our Loyalty Rewards program and other marketing initiatives aimed at past guests. Jordan exemplifies many strengths, including: - Demonstrating deep, detailed, current knowledge of technical issues, data structures that enabled accurate, real-time decision making. - Taking large amounts of information and getting to the heart of the matter quickly. - Creating solution alternatives and making recommendations that are often implemented. - Brainstorming well in areas that have no boundaries or blueprints.

- Communicating effectively between business and technology people. Jordan is a real team player and is very easy to work with. I believe him to be an ethical person with high integrity. I have enjoyed and often benefited from working with him on Norwegian business initiatives." - Melanie Vetter, VP of Relationship Marketing, Norwegian Cruise Lines -"Jordan has a unique and holistic approach to Business Intelligence. Jordan has a true and valuable passion for BI and this really comes through in his thoroughness and attention to detail in addressing the business needs while minimizing extraneous, non-core BI development. He creates a learning organization that also shares his passion for BI and 'getting it right.'" * - Mitchell Peacock, Director, Revenue & Itinerary Planning, Norwegian Cruise Lines -"I had the good fortune of working with Jordan on the implementation of a new marketing data mart for NCL in 2010. I have implemented over 50 of these type solutions in the past several years and it has been the rare occasion when the project goes as smoothly as did with NCL. It is testament to his leadership that his team was able to meet so many new requirements while adhering to their disciplined methodology and release procedures to ensure quality of the data and deliverables. Jordan shined equally as an independent contributor on the strategy, approach, and technology options for the project. He was often the go-to person for identifying approach options in all areas and for making many key decisions during the project. I think Jordan is a highly capable technology leader that is also adept at leading high performing teams and working very collaboratively, and with urgency, with the business in order to respond to and address their key priorities." * - Ed Connor, VP, Technology, Epsilon (NCL Partner) -"Jordan led the team that delivered the best CRM implementation I have ever experienced as a sales leader in the many organizations I have launched CRM and there have been several." - Camille Olivere, Vice President Sales, Norwegian Cruise Line -"Jordan is a true leader that not only has knowledge, skill and ability but also embodies the characteristics of what can take a company from good to great.
