Jeff has a rare combination of analytical rigor and quick-thinking creativity. In my experience, these assets give Jeff the ability to understand his or his team's role in the big picture while never losing focus on the specific areas of responsibility. In addition, Jeff's personal and presentation skills are top-notch and have been an asset to our teams. Moreover, Jeff always brings a consumate level of integrity and principle to everything he does. As a result, I would strongly recommend Jeff for any role which requires working closely with people or customers, especially in an enviroment which requires a detailed understanding of complex products or systems."

"Top qualities: Personable, On Time, High Integrity"

“Jeff was a finance analyst who was placed into the sales department to provide them with financial assistance in evaluating sales promotions, large customer and distribution agreements, as well as to handle budgeting issues. Jeff developed an excellent relationship with the Vice President of sales along with many of the key sales managers which demonstrates his ability to develop productive relationships. He also is very analytical which would be of great value in assisting customers with complex issues.”

“I have worked with Jeff Cress in his past position at GlaxoSmithKline; and would not hesitate to recommend him to any potential employer. Jeff's communication skills are exemplary. He is one of those rare individuals who not only possesses superb analytical skills; but also has the ability to successfully communicate the results of his analysis in a manner easily understood by all. Further; Jeff has repeatedly demonstrated the skill of rapidly finding common ground with a client so as to quickly build rapport. This talent should serve him well in any future position that may require extensive relationship building. Finally; Jeff has the ability to "close the sale" following dialogue with clients. His level of assertiveness is always appropriate for the situation; extremely persuasive, but not alienating in nature. Any employer requiring an aggressive energetic individual with an excellent work ethic would do well to give the utmost consideration to Jeff Cress. He truly raises the bar!”

“Jeff worked closely with myself and my team providing data and analyses that allowed us to make high superior decisions. He is an excellent team player often not only completing tasks, but providing high quality suggestions on how to improve the underlying processes.”

“In his role as Knowledge Manager/Senior Data Analyst, Jeff provided timely and accurate updates to critical information used in the GSK Response Center to support GSK's sales force. Jeff is a self-starter, who works effectively on his own, as well as with a team. He worked with all levels of personnel at GSK and was at-ease in doing so. His communication skills are excellent. He is a reliable, willing working and an asset to any organization.”

"Jeff does a great job building relationships with senior level sales associates as he provides financial business partnering support that meets or exceeds his customers needs."

“Jeff and I worked together in the Sales Force Support group. He would work on complex problems as the last line in support, rolling out the solutions back into the help desk support teams. He always sought the most complete solution, the one which would prevent the issue being re-escalated. I helped Jeff with his programming efforts. Whilst initially unsure about how to proceed, he proved to be able to quickly grasp new concepts which led to him producing an application which is still being used today for sales support. I would describe Jeff as competent, capable, diligent and with a talent for engaging people, and would have no hesitation in recommending him.”
