RIFFSLINGER, and specifically Gil Cardon, is a fantastic person to work with. Gil asks the tough questions to improve your work habits as well as your product. He causes you to look introspectively at your goals and dreams. He is able to easily understand where you are at professionally, and build on your personal experiences and strengths. Gil listens intently and is a great sounding board to discuss and brainstorm ideas. After the initial discussion/s, he creates an easy to work with plan of action that helps develop a very clear vision for an organization. Gil is honest and is able to confront hard truths in a constructive manner, in which I am always able to receive, accept and learn.
