RECENT TESTIMONIALS
Randy Valentino, CIO
Catamaran
I hired Jeanette at Catamaran to be the Program Manager of a complex data center consolidation project. The overall project consisted of seven individual project streams and it was Jeanette’s role to coordinate and manage execution across them all. She masterfully orchestrated execution of the work streams and provided business leadership and concise and informative readouts. Her great sense of humor came into play to ease tensions and overcome obstacles. Because of her project management and communication skills, the project was delivered on time and under budget, without a single service disruption.

Jeannette’s no pushover. She holds people accountable to her commitments. She knows how to take charge and get things done, even in a high-stress, high turnover cowboy culture where we were trying to integrate data systems after an acquisition. She keeps things moving and provides excellent status reporting and deliverables.

Datalink
I noticed Jeannette's energetic, positive professionalism with other projects in the company before she even came to help our team. I was new to the organization and she was like a compass for us, providing the excellent resources and tools I needed to do my job and track the project. She has a passion for what she does and her heart is in the right place for the people she works with. She also demands excellence of everyone around her, making sure we met all deadlines and deliverables on time.
Irwin Teodoro
Consulting Executive
During my 4-1/2 years working with Jeannette, she was my most requested project manager. I could assign her the most difficult, complex, technical and politically challenging projects and never had to worry. Jeannette was a realist, a risk taker when it was best for the project, and genuine in building her relationships with others. She led by example and a passion for what she does that she passed on to others as she delegated and made her team feel like they were part of something bigger. In the end, businesses grew exponentially because of Jeannette's work and how well she did it.

Datalink
Jeannette Collazo doesn’t run away from a difficult project, she runs towards it. I have worked with Jeannette on several data center consulting and consolidation engagements and she pleased our clients with her expertise and her ability to make sure the project was successful. Jeannette has high expectations of herself and others so she keeps people on their toes, always coming to meetings prepared and leading by excellent example. Her “x factor” is her positive attitude, expert approach and her uncompromising drive to always do what’s best for the project.
Jack Lentz, Technical Program Manager
Encapsolutions Technology
Jeannette is an excellent leader, an intelligent program manager and a great person. I worked with her on several projects including data center consolidations and build outs while at Datalink. Her management style was very interactive and she was a natural relationship builder, always strengthening rapport with the clients while keeping the atmosphere congenial with her co-workers. Jeannette is intuitive as well as budget-focused and financially savvy. She always has a good grasp on the project with attention to detail and a solid understanding of her role as the program manager.
Kam Sandouka, Sr. Program Manager/Director
United HealthCare/OptumRx
Jeanette came in to help us through a large scale, complex, and a mission impossible initiative —consolidating seven unique data centers into two. This required new build outs of our primary data center and upgrading our secondary one. She worked with all parties, and played a key role getting these new build-outs done right and in time for our consolidations. In the end, we had state-of-the-art centers. They positioned us well to continue our strategic growth which led to our eventual acquisition by United HealthCare/OptumRx. Jeannette was unstoppable on the program by all measures. She knew what needed to be done, how to execute it, and who to engage to move it forward. We could not have done it without her. Jeannette is a pleasure and one of the best consultants I have ever worked with. I will never hesitate to work with her on future projects.

When Jeannette commits, she delivers. She took over for one of my project managers and the difference was like night and day. She made my job easier by handling all the coordination and documentation needed in each step of the project. All I had to do was make the big decisions, which was exactly what I needed from my project manager so I could stay focused on other matters. I highly recommend her for your next project!
