“Blair is a model leader who brings positive energy and forward thinking to every engagement he is involved in. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Blair for three years at Deloitte. In that time, we worked closely on not only client work and various firm contributions, but also the development of custom-built solutions that were deployed at a global scale. Blair has the rare ability to distill complex technical information to its essential components so that his teams can clearly understand the path forward. No matter how tight a deadline or difficult an assignment, Blair always made sure the team felt valued. As a team leader or member, Blair earns my highest recommendation. ”
