PERFORMANCE GROUPINGS
Ned has demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of networking, which allows him to interact completely
independently with the highest-level engineers externally and internally. I am completely confident in his ability to
coordinate and supervise vendor installations and activities without input from me.
Ned’s assigned project to coordinate the upgrade from Ethernet to FDDI for three major west campus buildings was
compromised by a two month delay. This was due to vendor problems beyond Ned’s control.
