I worked closely with Jeremiah for almost three years. He is a superb resource who achieves results with minimal direction. He demonstrates a high degree of expertise in managing tasks and in a very short time he streamlined the metrics reporting process for the Security organization. He is very flexible when needed but persistent enough to get results and has the ability to take on multiple new projects that are critical to the business without negatively impacting productivity.
Jeremiah's ambition to achieve results would be an asset to any future organization he works for.
Jeremiah is one of the most driven people I know. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside him for several years now and I continue to be impressed with his passion for knowledge, his customer service focus, and automation abilities when it comes to reporting. Jeremiah is smart, quick, and has amazing attention to detail. He is one of the most knowledgeable ITIL people I know and is my ‘go-to’ person for all things related to IT Service Management.
He is never hesitant to share his experience and knowledge with others. Jeremiah’s thirst for knowledge and their practical applications have driven him to complete multiple certifications such as PMP and a university degree in the short time I’ve known him.
Personally, I know Jeremiah to be a supporting friend, colleague, a loving son, husband, and father to his family and someone you want in your corner.
Jeremiah would be a huge asset to any organization and I would endorse Jeremiah to anyone who is looking for strong business expertise as a Service Manager / Project Manager. I feel confident giving him my highest recommendation.
I’d like to tell you how much I think of Jeremiah and how I truly believe he would be a strong addition to the team.
Jeremiah is the Project Manager on the BPMS project which has given me the opportunity to work alongside him for the past 6+ months. I wholeheartedly believe that Jeremiah would be an asset to the team. I have found Jeremiah to be consistently professional, hard-working, diligent, and willing to tackle all assignments with dedication and enthusiasm. He is a take-charge, intellectually curious person who is able to present thoughtful, innovative ideas and communicate the benefits. He has successfully created procedures documents and Visio workflows for Global & Account specific workflows that have resulted in a consolidation of over 60% of the OPASv2 forms into dynamic OPASv3 forms. During my time with Dell Services, I have never met a person more intrigued by the work they have been assigned and he is always searching for new and more efficient ways for team members to do their jobs. I have had the opportunity to work closely with the team over the past few years and I knew the minute I met Jeremiah that he would make a very strong contributor to the team because of his dedication, knowledge, and humility.
I highly recommend Jeremiah. He is a team player and would be a benefit to any organization.
I had the pleasure to meet and work with Jeremiah at Technifax Office Solutions. He was getting his first taste of a pure sales role and trying to learn the ropes, and I spent some time mentoring him for success. Jeremiah always hungers for knowledge and improvement, and he doesn't let a small failure deter him from a larger goal. He is an intensely determined individual and someone I would have no qualms about entrusting a project to. Given a defined plan and finish line, I can think of few people who are better capable of applying their organizational and technical skills to get the job done.
On a personal note, he is also a warm and compassionate person to work with and I would struggle to think of a team he would have trouble working with. We have maintained a friendship since our relatively short time working together at Technifax. He would be an asset to any organization he joins.
I first began my professional relationship with Jeremiah in 2004 at Perot Systems (now Dell Services). We were both employed in equal roles and worked on the same team, so we quickly became familiar with each other. In my time at Perot Systems, I found Jeremiah to certainly be more than competent in the technical skills required for the position. However, what impressed me most was his natural ability to work with others (both our clients and our internal team) to achieve the needs at hand. My professional career has always led me to be in roles that are client-centric. If there is one thing I have learned by hiring and building my teams, it is that you can only train a person in client relations to a certain point. Those that are the best, though, come by it naturally. Jeremiah is certainly a natural.
Unfortunately, I only had the pleasure to work with Jeremiah for about a year, as we parted ways when I took a position with my current company. However, we have still kept in touch from then through the present. During that time span, Jeremiah has impressed me further. He set a goal for himself to become a project manager. Unlike most people I have encountered, Jeremiah made serious effort to plan out the realistic steps required to accomplish that goal. While working full time, he steadfastly labored in his off time to make it happen, exemplifying his remarkable drive and focus. So many people today give up in this face of this kind of adversity, and simply settle for what is given to them. Jeremiah, though, has not wavered in his drive. He has constantly sought input and advice from me, as well as others in the industry, kept current on literature, and has never lost sight of the end goal (a critical trait for any successful project manager).
I understand what it takes to be successful as a project manager and have no doubt that Jeremiah Shepard has what it takes to thrive in the role. I have no doubt that, if you provide him the opportunity to prove that to you, you will not regret it.
