“I had the pleasure of working with Laurence for a number of years at Apple where I found him to be an insightful “sounding board” and wonderful colleague to partner with. One of the largest projects Laurence managed was the assessment and redesign of the worldwide HR function at Apple. Laurence was tireless in his willingness to listen and try to understand the various functional complexities and challenges as we sought to streamline our work and build better scalability for the growing business. Laurence is insightful, direct and sensitive to the nuances involved in making such changes and I found him to be a trusted and wise colleague throughout my 6 years in the company. Laurence always impresses me with his ongoing quest for learning and excellence – he seeks in depth knowledge and proficiency and is fearless in his willingness to tackle complex issues and help his clients sort them out in an efficient, supportive and timely manner. Laurence is an outstanding consultant and colleague and I highly recommend him.”
