Yvonne Pfingsten - Senior Finance Manager, FP&A

Don worked in my team at Dean Foods as a consultant to help design and develop a master forecast model to be used by the entire Logistics organization. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Don and found him to be a highly skilled and talented professional. Don was a true team player and was able to foster constructive discussions and always maintained a positive outlook. Don was able to work through complex processes and procedures with minimal guidance to produce an outstanding end product. In many cases, Don exceeded our expectations by recommending solutions or enhancements that we had not previously considered. His knowledge of FP&A and expertise in Excel Macros was a huge advantage to our team and helped to enable the success of the project. The end result was highly commended by both the management staff and end users of the forecast tool and was found to be efficient and extremely effective as well as user friendly.
