Recommendations - Sun Executives - Direct Managers


Mark Ellinger, Sales Director, Sun Microsystems
“While at Sun Microsystems I hired Eileen to become our Region Executive assistant. Eileen quickly became the
single "go to" person both in the Region and with respect to the Office Management responsibilities. Eileen's work
ethic and proficiency is outstanding. Eileen managed many Director level reporting and office management
responsibilities directly for myself and the entire team. She could always be counted on to ensure a very
professional reporting capability across the Sun various business groups. I would strongly support Eileen in any of
her future career opportunities.”



Samad Ali, Sales Operations Director, Sun Microsystems
“There are a few people that you can always count on. Eileen is one of them. Whenever there is a task that must get
done, Eileen gets it done on time and with the highest quality. Eileen possesses the rare skill of effectively working
with remote virtual teams. In her last role she supported a team of 200+ professionals and 8 managers. For these
managers, she was not only responsible for administrative tasks such as expense management and travel but she also
supported the sales reporting and analytical requirements for a $1.0 Billion Global Business Unit. She also managed
the Global Business Unit Website and took pride in helping create a document repository to retain organizational
memory. She takes pride in working independently, is diligent about continuous improvement and has taken several
soft skills courses to improve her effectiveness. Eileen has a track record of being a loyal, efficient, and effective
and will quickly become a valuable member any team.”

Mark Rissmiller, Client Executive, Sun Microsystems
“I would like to recommend Eileen Delaney. Eileen is the best executive assistant or senior administrator I have
ever worked with in my career. In the 5 years I have known her she went from working with 1 Client Executive in
financial services sales to supporting up to 8 client executives and managers. Eileen provided assistance with
presentations, financial numbers, travel planning for individuals, group meetings formulation and planning, as well
as Sun financial systems assistance by generating PO's, Check requests and much more. Her knowledge of Sun and
all the Sun tools in addition to industry tools was extremely valuable. She did not just know these things but she
excelled in their use. Eileen proved to be very diligent. A task could be requested, a priority given and she would get
the work done when she said she could. So her dependability was excellent. Eileen also was well organized which
helped all her managers. She kept archives of presentations, forecasts, and other files for each person and could
actually find them when needed! She also provided reminders of reporting that was due for weekly and monthly
requirements for the sales area. Overall Eileen was the consummate professional. She was trustworthy with private
information and provided assistance to many more people than just the sales managers. She would be a huge asset to
an organization and would accept ever increasing roles of responsibility. She is very missed at Sun Microsystems at
this very moment! Mark D. Rissmiller Sun Client Executive for Bank of America”


Larry Kreitzer, Regional Executive, Sun Microsystems
“In a word, Eileen is second to none. Eileen is a conscientious professional who routinely goes beyond the boundary
of her job description in an effort to contribute to the success of the organization. Eileen delivers administrative
support/operational support/sales support/field support with passion and enthusiasm. Eileen has superior
organizational skills, pays close attention to details, is proactive, and brings creative thinking to every situation she
is involved in. A positive/can do/will do attitude is critical to success in today's business environment and Eileen
comes to work with all three every day. Eileen would be an asset to any organization looking for top performers. I
am one of many who personally miss the huge contribution Eileen made to the Sun Microsystems organization.”4

Irwin Morrisey, Client Executive Director, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen has supported my organization for several years and she was an extremely valuable member of the team.
She is a dedicated and highly skilled individual and I would recommend her to any organization that is looking for a
professional in every sense of the word. I manage a very demanding and dynamic organization with a lot of last
minute requests. She is extremely capable of handling multiple tasks, everything from planning meetings,
presentations, financial reporting and travel arrangements. I can say that no one virtually supports a team better than
Eileen. She is a true professional and she is truly missed.”



Bob Singsank, Regional Executive, Sun Microsystems
“While Eileen and I only worked together for nine months, I quickly found that no matter what I came to her with
she would get it done quickly and accurately the first time. Whether it be helping me set up my forecasting files and
procedures or booking travel (of which I did a lot), it simply got done. I was impressed with how easily and
effectively she worked with me and my team, despite the fact that we've never met face to face. Everything we did
was done remotely via email and the phone...and it worked well, due largely to Eileen's easy, positive
communication style. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again any time.”


Peter Orr, Services Sales Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I had the pleasure of working with Eileen over the past 5 years in various capacities from direct to indirect support.
Eileen is a professional in the office administrative role. She has an excellent "tools" skill set , organizational skills,
project orientation and is results oriented. It would be a pleasure to work with Eileen again and I would not hesitate
to recommend her for any office administration or executive assistance role.”
Recommendations - Sun Executives - Indirect Managers

Peter Green, ADM/CE, Sun Microsystems
“I have worked in the IT industry for over 40 years and Eileen is by far the best Area Operations and Field Support
professional I've worked with during that time. Eileen is dedicated, diligent and exceptionally precise in her daily
assignments and objectives. Proactive in all her duties Eileen was instrumental in uncovering and correcting several
operational issues in our sales reporting system. She was instrumental in elevating field requirements and requested
modifications as well as tracking to make sure they were done. Eileen was the fields 'go to' person and advocate for
many more issues than she was responsible for, making her one of the most valuable, well respected and enjoyable
people on our collective team(s). I hope to work with Eileen again one day soon.”

Lisa Danzer, Regional Systems Engineering Manager, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen was the Administrative Assistant for my group when I called on Bank of America. She is very organized,
professional and a terrific team player. She was responsible for weekly forecasts, scheduling and administrative
details for a very busy group. She consistently exceeded the expectations of the role and was a very pleasant person
to work with.”
Randy Hulse, Client Solutions Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I had the privilege of working with Eileen while being part of a cross-organizational Account Team in support of
the Financial Services market vertical at Sun Microsystems. Her attention to detail in helping coordinate the
activities of senior client management enabled us to win significant business and exceed the financial goals set for
us by the company. Bringing both organizational and business savvy, Eileen would be a tremendous asset to any
organization.”

Arsalan Saljoughy, Area Sales Manager, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen is a well-organized and effective Executive Assistant whose help has been instrumental to increased
productivity of my team over the years. Eileen is always available for ad-hoc requests, knowledgeable about the

Sun.”

Jonathan Schiff, Global Services Executive, Sun Microsystems, Inc
“Eileen has been an integral member of our account team. As Executive Administrator for a global sales group,
Eileen provided valuable coordination and logistical support for many of our marketing initiatives and programs.
Additionally, she delivered critical operational support which allowed the rest of us to focus our efforts on the
customer. Eileen worked seamlessly across functional lines of business to break through barriers and enable
professional and productive collaboration.”

Ken Shelton, Partner Development Manager, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen is a detail-oriented professional who is able to see (& negotiate ) both the forest and the trees. She was my
trainer on a very little-understood reporting system and she did so with patience and expertise. She was always the
"Go-To" person for features, functions, and referrals to process owners that no one else knew about. Eileen was the
one person to go to when you needed an answer, any answer. If she did not know the answer, she knew who did.
Always a pleasure to work with.”

Ed Gandarillas, US Technical Sales Manager - Insurance and Banking, Sun Microsystems
“I've worked with Eileen for over 8 years in multiple capacities and have always appreciated her hard work,
dedication and professionalism. Over the years I have interacted with Eileen as a Sun Consultant, Practice Manager
and then as US Technical Sales Manager for Financial Services. Eileen always provided excellent assistance and
was eager to lend a hand regardless of the situation. It has been a pleasure to know her. I recommend Eileen without
reservation. Best Regards - Fernando E Gandarillas”

Richard Dowling, Storage Sales manager, Financial Services Area, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen, is a detailed and energetic worker who helped me transition into a new role at Sun managing storage sales

for an operational position.”

to do what it takes to get the job done. It was not only a pleasure, but an honor to work with Eileen.”


Dane Sidi, Manager, Americas Deal Desk, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen and I worked together on a broad variety of issues in support of the Sun sales force. She was a person I
would regularly rely on, someone who was both extremely hard working and knowledgeable. Eileen always
committed 100% to assist me on any issue where I needed either her knowledge of how to get things done, and/or to
roll up her sleeves to help in a needed effort that was often a fire drill. Any organization she joins will greatly
benefit from her abilities and work ethic.”

Irene Bigos, Director, North America Marketing, Sun Microsystems

of my team's requests and as the Area's Siebel Super User supported both data entry and ongoing CRM efforts. Her
work is thorough and accurate, and is coupled with a great work ethic. She would be an asset to any organization
seeking an experienced Executive Assistant."


Ruth Anne Ares, Manager, Sun Microsystems
“Working across organizations can be a challenge. Eileen was an integral part of a team with which I worked
regularly and she made challenging situations easier, always providing the professional support required. She made
things happen, and I always appreciated working with her for her reliability, consistency, and can-do attitude.”
Recommendations – Sun Executives - King of Prussia

Don Lepp, CE National Sales Manager, Sun Microsystems/GSO Americas
“While Eileen never worked for me directly, I had the opportunity to see her execute her responsibilities quite
regularly as I frequented the office space in King of Prussia, PA where she worked and I communicated with her on
various work related topics or activities over 6 + years. Eileen is very conscientious and diligent in performing the
tasks of her position. She steps up and takes a leadership role when needed as evidenced by her ability to assure
office operations flowed efficiently and requirements for the office staff were met. Eileen is a focused person who
follows through on the tasks she is given and always in a timely manner. She respects a management organization
structure and company code of ethics but has her own managerial type courage to make decisions and take actions
as needed even if not always the most popular decision..Eileen cares as she goes above and beyond on activities for
the good of the office team and others outside of the team. This was evidenced by her initiative in planning,
coordinating, motivating and leading activities for the Toys for Tots program on behalf of an entire office staff. I
know from a former management peer whom she did report to directly that Eileen was a trusted and valuable asset
to him in the running of the office operation. Eileen gives you 120% every day in her work ethic and is a person to
be counted on to get the job done.”


Jeff McQuaid, Regional Sales Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I worked with Eileen in Sun's King of Prussia office. Though we did not work in the same area we were in related
organizations at Sun. Eileen also was involved in other office support functions for which I was directly responsible.
I found Eileen extremely helpful, supportive and knowledgeable and willing to go the extra step to ensure various
activities or problems were concluded and resolved quickly and professionally. Eileen is someone who can step into
a leadership role and use her knowledge, talents and ability to persuade to get action. I enjoyed working with Eileen,
appreciated her help and support, and found her a valuable asset to the organization in our interactions working
together at Sun.”
Recommendations – Sun Executives - King of Prussia


Lou Ann Hunt, Regional Executive/District Sales Manager, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen was a great combination of talent, knowledge, energy and dedication as a field admin at our Philadelphia
sales office. While Eileen never reported directly to me, her contributions were felt and appreciated well beyond her
assigned scope. She would be a strong asset to any organization as she brings senior skills and a willingness to jump
in and learn anything not already in her broad repertoire.”


Debbie Shryock, Regional Executive, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen was key to Sun's King of Prussia Sustaining Management Team when I was in the lead role. She's quick to
understand challenges and focused on resolution. Eileen is articulate and detail oriented. She provides outstanding
administrative support and would be an asset to any organization that was in need of assistance.”


Donna Rubin, Sr. Director Strategy & Marketing, Sun Microsystems
“As a Sr. Director at Sun Microsystems, I had the pleasure of working with Eileen for the past nine years on the
King of Prussia Sustaining Management Team -- [King of Prussia office manager functions (SMT ) ] and also as
part of the Financial Services organization. Eileen performs her job with a high degree of professionalism. Her
dependability, excellent work ethic, and "open door" policy made her the resource of choice not only for her
“assigned team” but also for the entire King of Prussia office. Any organization would benefit from having Eileen
on their team.”
Recommendations – Sun Executives - King of Prussia


John Karwoski, Six Sigma Black Belt, Sun Microsystems
“Eileen is that rare person that can handle more than her fair share of work-related tasks, volunteer to take on more,
and still find time to assist others. She was on the bleeding edge of many applications and systems, with all the
challenges that brings, yet still maintained a high degree of composure and professionalism, all the more impressive
given that Eileen's peers, management and extended team were, for the most part, not in the same physical office.
Most of us work in virtual or remote teams, yet Eileen went out of her way to organize local events around the
holidays, fiscal year end, and so on, to ensure that we all were in touch. She also reached out to the local community
with volunteer efforts. She tackles problems with a tenacity not usually seen, and any organization looking for an
executive assistant that can handle anything would be well served with Eileen.”


Venkat Kilambi, Client Solutions Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I have worked with Eileen at Sun for several years. Eileen is a very dedicated individual who is very efficient at
doing her job and ensuring that all the details get looked after. Her vigilance in such matters has helped to run and
manage the office environment efficiently. She has also worked on outside charitable causes and helped to promote
these when possible. Eileen is dedicated and loyal to her job and colleagues. I have no hesitation in recommending
Eileen to similar jobs in any organization.”


Tony Tedesco, Engagement Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I would strongly recommend Eileen for any type of administrative position. I worked with Eileen for over 5 years,
and I can confidently say that she is extremely efficient, hard working, committed to excellence, and always helpful.
I joined Sun well after Eileen, and I can’t begin to say how helpful she was to me when it came to learning my way
around Sun's systems and applications. She would always take the time to explain how things worked and how to
navigate through the many different systems and services. If a company is looking for someone that they can
depend on, please consider Eileen. She will be an asset to your organization”

changes within an organization. I worked with Eileen for 5 years and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.”

“I know Eileen Delaney very well from working at Sun Microsystems. While there, she handled the duties as the senior
administrator for the Financial Services Region, supporting some of the largest customers that Sun has. The sales group that she
supported, is a fast paced and dynamic organization that requires quick turn around to complex issues and problems. Often,
reports/projects are requested on short notice and are required to look professional as they are used with senior management.
Eileen always performed her work with a sense of urgency to the task at hand and we were assured the job would be done
correctly the first time. Always prompt and courteous-even during some of the most challenging moments! Eileen is a pleasure
to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in hiring her in any administrative role. You can't find
better support anywhere. Respectfully submitted, Gary Goltz Sales Account Exec”


Carl Cook, Account Manager, Sun Microsystems
“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Eileen for almost two years while being in FSA and being part of the team that
covered Bank Of America. Eileen made a very difficult job seem easy by her organizational skills and her knowledge of
software applications. She was an instrumental part of the Bank of America team, and me personally, as she provided me with a
tremendous amount of help and support through those two years. I can't say enough of what a valuable addition she was. In
closing, I want to add that Eileen is extremely dedicated, has a tremendously strong "Can Do" attitude and is a real pleasure to
work with. Thank you, Carl Cook”

SUN such as Toys for Tots. Eileen made my transition at SUN very comfortable.”

Dave Pruyn, Senior Storage Sales Representative, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
“Eileen has supported has two teams that I was aligned with during my tenure at Sun. I have had the good fortune to experience
a very competent professional who always adds value to her team. I would strongly recommend Eileen.”


Robert Creighton, Storage Sales Engineer, Sun Microsystems
“I came to rely on Eileen's help during the integration of StorageTek into SUN. The company cultures were quite different and
Eileen's assistance was fundamental to my transition. Though we were several time zones apart, I came to expect Eileen to be
the first to respond to my (seeming continual) requests clarification and support. She was invariably clear, concise and
responsive. There seemed little she didn't know and on the rare occasions she needed further help, she quickly found and
disseminated that information, typically in a cheerful and friendly manner. I believe Eileen would be an extremely valuable
administrative asset to any sales organization, particularly in these days of geographically dispersed teams and remote
electronic communication and collaboration.”

  • 1. Sun Microsystems, Inc. Recommendations Posted on Linked In Sorted by Reporting or Organizational Structure http://www.linkedin.com/in/eileendelaney
  • 2. Recommendations - Sun Executives - Direct Managers Mark Ellinger, Sales Director, Sun Microsystems “While at Sun Microsystems I hired Eileen to become our Region Executive assistant. Eileen quickly became the single "go to" person both in the Region and with respect to the Office Management responsibilities. Eileen's work ethic and proficiency is outstanding. Eileen managed many Director level reporting and office management responsibilities directly for myself and the entire team. She could always be counted on to ensure a very professional reporting capability across the Sun various business groups. I would strongly support Eileen in any of her future career opportunities.” Samad Ali, Sales Operations Director, Sun Microsystems “There are a few people that you can always count on. Eileen is one of them. Whenever there is a task that must get done, Eileen gets it done on time and with the highest quality. Eileen possesses the rare skill of effectively working with remote virtual teams. In her last role she supported a team of 200+ professionals and 8 managers. For these managers, she was not only responsible for administrative tasks such as expense management and travel but she also supported the sales reporting and analytical requirements for a $1.0 Billion Global Business Unit. She also managed the Global Business Unit Website and took pride in helping create a document repository to retain organizational memory. She takes pride in working independently, is diligent about continuous improvement and has taken several soft skills courses to improve her effectiveness. Eileen has a track record of being a loyal, efficient, and effective and will quickly become a valuable member any team.”
  • 3. Recommendations - Sun Executives - Indirect Managers Mark Rissmiller, Client Executive, Sun Microsystems “I would like to recommend Eileen Delaney. Eileen is the best executive assistant or senior administrator I have ever worked with in my career. In the 5 years I have known her she went from working with 1 Client Executive in financial services sales to supporting up to 8 client executives and managers. Eileen provided assistance with presentations, financial numbers, travel planning for individuals, group meetings formulation and planning, as well as Sun financial systems assistance by generating PO's, Check requests and much more. Her knowledge of Sun and all the Sun tools in addition to industry tools was extremely valuable. She did not just know these things but she excelled in their use. Eileen proved to be very diligent. A task could be requested, a priority given and she would get the work done when she said she could. So her dependability was excellent. Eileen also was well organized which helped all her managers. She kept archives of presentations, forecasts, and other files for each person and could actually find them when needed! She also provided reminders of reporting that was due for weekly and monthly requirements for the sales area. Overall Eileen was the consummate professional. She was trustworthy with private information and provided assistance to many more people than just the sales managers. She would be a huge asset to an organization and would accept ever increasing roles of responsibility. She is very missed at Sun Microsystems at this very moment! Mark D. Rissmiller Sun Client Executive for Bank of America” Larry Kreitzer, Regional Executive, Sun Microsystems “In a word, Eileen is second to none. Eileen is a conscientious professional who routinely goes beyond the boundary of her job description in an effort to contribute to the success of the organization. Eileen delivers administrative support/operational support/sales support/field support with passion and enthusiasm. Eileen has superior organizational skills, pays close attention to details, is proactive, and brings creative thinking to every situation she is involved in. A positive/can do/will do attitude is critical to success in today's business environment and Eileen comes to work with all three every day. Eileen would be an asset to any organization looking for top performers. I am one of many who personally miss the huge contribution Eileen made to the Sun Microsystems organization.”4
  • 4. Recommendations - Sun Executives - Indirect Managers Irwin Morrisey, Client Executive Director, Sun Microsystems “Eileen has supported my organization for several years and she was an extremely valuable member of the team. She is a dedicated and highly skilled individual and I would recommend her to any organization that is looking for a professional in every sense of the word. I manage a very demanding and dynamic organization with a lot of last minute requests. She is extremely capable of handling multiple tasks, everything from planning meetings, presentations, financial reporting and travel arrangements. I can say that no one virtually supports a team better than Eileen.
