RECOMMENDATIONS
During 5 years I have worked with Vitaly Kirkpatrick at Moxtek, I have noticed that he consistently demonstrates all of these qualities and more, and wanted to re-emphasize the key role that he plays, not just as a Sales Engineer, but as an effective, professional and technical representative of Moxtek with unique language skills and technical understanding of the products that the Supply Chain group is purchasing for the company. Vitaly is reliable, dedicated and he amazed me with his ability to connect on cultural and technical levels with Moxtek’s suppliers. His command of the language helped us open new opportunities for cost reductions, quality improvements and assists us with a consistent source of supply of critical products to Moxtek. Vitaly has a team player mindset, enthusiastic embrace of change, ability to work with minimal direction on Supplier negotiations. Many of his co-workers in different departments seek his advice and support. I feel his professional skills, reputation, personality and leadership abilities will become even more effective in a business school setting. If you have any questions regarding Vitaly or this recommendation, please contact me.

I have known Vitaly Kirkpatrick both personally and professionally for more than 6 years. Vitaly has worked for Moxtek for the past 8 years and during this time he has continued to hold positions of increasing responsibility. He has overseen our sales growth in the Russian and Ukrainian markets by more than 120% percent since he started to work at Moxtek. He also helped in negotiations with our Ukrainian suppliers which saved Moxtek more than $500,000 in annual operating expenses. Vitaly is a deadline-oriented person, independent and customer focused strategist. Vitaly has an in-depth understanding of modern IT technologies, X-ray technologies, and Sales techniques. I would recommend Vitaly to any employer seeking for a good team leader. Furthermore, Vitaly can definitely be described as a “people person”. He has a natural talent to inspire and motivate other employees and demonstrates a very positive can-do attitude, no matter how difficult a challenge may be. I have found him to be a very quick study, an ambitious leader and a terrific team player. And it is my belief these qualities would make him an outstanding employee for your organization.
