It was an absolute pleasure to work with Edmond. He was always on target and could be entrusted to see a program through with expertise from start to finish. Edmond has an enviable ability to see both the big picture as well as the details. I always knew a program that Edmond was working in would be managed professionally and expertly.

Edmond and I worked together ‘in the trenches’ at Impact Communications. I appreciated his “get it done” attitude, his determination to ensure a program be done well – and his laughter. Edmond is a great person to have around when you need to have a task managed, or need to have someone appreciate the absurdity of an insane situation with you – it’s at those moments, when his calming smile works its magic. Edmond has also helped me negotiate with vendors and secured wonderful deals which have helped my budgets tremendously. I would happily recommend Edmond for any position he applies for – any company would be lucky to have him!

I’ve now worked with Edmond at two different companies over the course of 16 years. Edmond has constantly been a mentor to me displaying his talents as an amazing meeting planner. His attention to detail and dedication show the type of planner he is. I absolutely recommend Edmond to plan your meetings and thank him for believing in me and teaching me everything he knows about the field and industry.

Edmond was my supervisor for 6 months when he arrived at ASME. From the start, Edmond’s focus and adaptability were noticed by all who worked with him. He was given greater responsibility, sooner than others who had started at the same time, including, becoming my supervisor. His conference management background helped with the transition of learning a new corporate culture, plus his people skills, and ability to remain cool under pressure, were what most impressed a lot of his co-workers. I highly recommend Edmond for any company who’s looking to hire a true professional, with great judgment and a healthy dose of common sense.

In the event industry we work in, there are very few people I know who are calm and composed during an unforeseen crisis and Edmond is definitely one of them. I had the pleasure to work with Edmond at ASME. We started together and became friends instantly. He is someone who is very detail-oriented, organized and has a great ability to lead various teams. As a team member or a leader, Edmond earns my highest recommendation.

I have worked with Edmond while he was a Meetings Manager and when he was promoted to Exhibits and Sponsorships Manager at CRF. During his time as a Meetings Manager, I worked closely with Edmond on the Fellows Course and I was able to see first hand how meticulous and extremely organized he is. His level to detail and ability to take into consideration the meeting experience for not only attendees but exhibitors and sponsors which showed in how seamless the Course came together. After several years as the Exhibits and Sponsorships Manager, I decided to leave my position and Edmond took over this position. I had the opportunity to teach him everything I had learned about exhibits and sponsorships in my 10+ years of experience – within a month. I knew that Edmond’s meticulous attention to detail would allow him to exceed in this role. During our daily one on ones, he listened and asked all of the rights questions to ensure he would be successful in this new role and have a successful exhibit hall during the organization’s largest meeting – TCT. Edmond is an asset to any company he joins!
