Re: Reference letter for Ms. Anyck Turgeon
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to confirm my full support of Ms. Turgeon’s skills and leadership in the areas of executive management, business and technology.
As an executive owning and managing several corporations in the search engine marketing field, I am familiar with the world’s best technologists and marketing experts. I am currently the Founder, President, and CEO of Apogee Search. I also own Leads Customers Growth.
About two years ago, Ms. Turgeon approached us directly to assist Crossroads with various search optimization services. I had never had the opportunity to meet Ms. Turgeon before, however, upon our first meeting, it became clear that Ms. Turgeon was an extremely technical and business-savvy executive. As we entered into contract negotiations, my entire team quickly realized that Ms. Turgeon is a fledged business executive with uniquely effective approaches to technology implementations. Within a very short period of time, we went through extensive RFI, RFP and contracts negotiation phases upon which she started to educate us about the award-winning product roadmap that she had developed at Crossroads. It was shocking to discover the breadth of Ms. Turgeon’s talents.
Ms. Turgeon is a remarkably bright individual whose passion for developing technological solutions is striking. Her accomplishments in advanced queries management, Business Information Assurance (BIA) and data security have been tremendous. As she is now working closely with large corporations such as Wells Fargo, General Motors and MasterCard on revolutionary technologies, I am convinced that my search engine alerts will soon be informing me about other substantial accomplishments attributed to Ms. Turgeon. Her work has been ground breaking in several areas and she is definitely one to watch as her skills are within the top percentile of her field of expertise.
Although our business engagement was temporary and has been completed some time ago, we still take time to keep in touch and meet. I am always looking forward to hear about the ground-breaking technologies that she is focusing on. The mixture of Ms. Turgeon’s in-depth technological expertise, marketing knowledge and business acumen are truly unique and this puts her in a special category of individuals with extraordinary ability.
As the evidence included with Ms. Turgeon’s petition clearly indicates, Ms. Turgeon is one of the small percentages of individuals who have gained sustained recognition, establishing her as a preeminent member within the information protection, data management and storage security disciplines. I have no hesitation in supporting Ms. Turgeon, as I am confident that she will continue to serve as a dedicated industry contributor for decades to come.
Feel free to contact me if I can provide further information.
Yours truly,
