“Nat Juchems is one of those rare individuals who are capable of excelling in both technology and management. During my work experience with him I saw Nat expand the depth and breadth of his technical abilities with a confident and methodical approach that confirmed for all who worked with him that he was up to any task. His thoughtful processes and continued education in management have given him a business approach to design and implementation of technologies to satisfy customer requirements. This combination of technical knowledge and business sense assure him great success on any projects he leads.”

“There are three particular leadership attributes that I feel you have always had strength in and
that you continue to mature as you grow professionally:
Visionary
You are able to work with individuals in the network to build a vision/future state, gain
consensus and put the initial pieces in place to move towards that state.
Judgment
You clearly have a strong technical aptitude across a variety of areas from a strategy/
architecture/design (big picture) down to a detailed perspective – chiefly because you are able
to readily ramp up and learn new areas. This enables you to make good assessments of the
costs/benefits of different options, seek out the information you need (either from people or
research, although I think you often lean more towards the former) and then take action or put
forth recommendations/proposals.
Action-Orientation
You have a tendency towards moving needed decisions or actions forward at the outset.”
