I had the pleasure of working with Allen Pratt during his consulting assignment at Quantum Foods. During the 12-month assignment, he helped Great Steaks and More increase gross sales revenues over 35%.
Allen is a smart and driven business manager. Allen always shows a dogged determination to get to the root cause of any issue and then demonstrated just as much energy and commitment to fix the problem. Allen would make a great addition to any business management team.
Allen is an excellent coordinator and business partner. With his experience, insights corporate and analytical skills, he will be an asset to any company looking for results and growth. Our productive output improved by 60%.
Allen is an amazing professional, who brings all of the skills and expertise in project management. It was indeed a wonderful thing to work with him on our Oracle Fusion ERP implementation, under my supervision as the VP of Finance at ShopperTrak RCT Corporation, a division of JCI.His capability to lead the business side of our implementation dealing with international colleagues and India technical teams with focus and soberness was quite impressive. Many professionals who work in the same capacity may take years to learn from experience how to handle these responsibilities, which seemed natural to him.Besides that, Allen with his unwavering confidence and quiet tenacity made me assured of the best solutions to problems at our workplace even when there were few options to employ.I hereby highly recommend him to the next engagement for efficient management leadership skills. I’m hoping he’ll deliver ever more to other assignments as well.
Allen made an immediate and positive impact at Bell Sports. Allen developed and communicated the vision for the Production and Inventory control group and the Leadership that resulted in successful execution to significantly improve production lead-times and customer satisfaction.
Dedicated manager with a great commitment for fulfillment. Professional in customer orientation.
Allen is a very sharp and experienced executive. I was really impressed at his ability to observe and analyze our business and provide constructive feedback and direction.It takes both tact and intelligence to be able to communicate with a client and Allen was able to do both! Great asset.
Allen led our ERP implementation. He did a great job. He handled the high pressure situation with cool, calm logic. He always maintained a highly professional manner even though many around him didn't reciprocate. He actively drove the project to a successful conclusion.
It takes a special type of personality to make a $2 billion global manufacturing company appear "entreprenuerial" ...Allen Pratt is just that type. When Allen found out that our company could be live with a 100,000 SKU e-commerce site in 30 days, he decided that his company could too. And together, we did it, breaking a 10 year global deadlock - under budget.
Allen did an exceptional job for us as a business consultant. We engaged Allen to provide professional services in connection with a retail food strategic initiative with a company headquartered in Canada.Allen arranged, negotiated and led the meetings and subsequent manufacturing agreement which led to a new business relationship in a distribution channel that the company did not previously have. He effectively articulated our business and was able to establish a new relationship and followed through to ensure a seamless process. His financial models were easy to understand and very concise. I strongly recommend Allen.
We worked with Allen several times over the years. Very detailed with good results.
Allen is an innovative leader with unrelenting focus on bringing value to his customers. While at Goss, Allen took control of an organization and re-orientated its wayward direction while quickly producing measurable results.Allen was always supportive of our organization and treated us as
Being part of the senior management team has allowed me the opportunity to participate in the process of hiring a VP/GM for Eilers Machine & Welding. One of our objectives in filling this leadership position was to find what Jim Collins (Good to Great) describes as Level 5 Leadership.Allen has demonstrated a professional and tenacious will to succeed yet seasoned with a compelling modesty. His approach is intelligent and tireless and his character trustworthy. I must say that I have not been disappointed in the decision to hire Allen and have had the distinct pleasure of working under his leadership.
I am the President of an industry organization called Turnaround Management Association, and Allen if a co-chair of the Certified Turnaround Professional Committee. I have observed Allen's work for years, and he is truly outstanding. He is extremely self motivated. He is an extremely hard worker. He is generous with his time and talents. He is very goal oriented. He created and designed a program to increase the number of certified professionals in the Chicago chapter, and he achieved fantastic results. I would recommend Allen for anything he puts his mind to do.
