        I worked with Alan to transition his group from the Boston area to my newly established group in the Twin Cities.  Alan was an invaluable resource as we transitioned roles and responsibilities and helped us see things through to ensure a successful migration.  He committed to staying on board until the work was completed and never let go of that commitment.  Alan has a breadth of Treasury knowledge and experience coupled with great common sense Accounting which is often required in smaller organizations.  He also has a strong drive to do what's right, is deeply committed to upholding the highest level of integrity, and has the skills and experience to thrive even in the most challenging situations.  I would recommend Alan for any role that he seeks and am thankful to have had him with me during a very challenging and sensitive transition!

        Alan is a seasoned Treaury professional who is results oriented and is very pragmatic in his problem solving skills. He is a team player who I would recommend for any senior Treasury level postion. I enjoyed working with Alan and at One Beacon he was definitely part of the solution.
