“As an industry analyst, I interact with many marketing and product management professionals in the communications industry; however, few demonstrate the same passion and commitment to success as Frank Gartland. I worked closely with him while he was with iLinc, a leading conferencing service provider, and I was truly impressed with his ability to communicate iLinc’s unique value proposition and steer the company on a successful growth path. It was a pleasure working with Frank as he always had some exciting ideas and insights to share and was eager to receive other people’s perspectives. With his industry expertise and marketing acumen he can be a great asset to any organization.”

“Frank is a very dynamic and energetic person to speak with. While he was at iLinc, in his presentations to Frost & Sullivan, he covered the dynamics of the collaboration industry very well and clearly laid out iLinc's promising role in this industry. He is very passionate about what he does and has the ability to completely engage his audience.”

“I very much enjoyed working with Frank and learning from his expertise in product development, management and leadership. He is a passionate person that cares deeply about his team and their performance. Frank is a motivating, talented leader that is not afraid of getting his hands dirty. Besides being a dedicated professional, Frank is an incredible person and a great example of one that puts his family first yet still performs his duties to the utmost. With all of this said, it is his love of God, country and family that makes me proud to call him a friend.”

“Frank was a pleasure to work for. He was my manager for several years at KnowledgeNet and Thomson NETg. He is a visionary that sees the big picture and does not settle for second best. I personally credit Frank for encouraging me to try things that I did not think I was capable of doing and encouraging me every step of the way.”

“KnowledgeNet was a key client of mine and Frank was responsible for the relationship. I found working with Frank, on many strategic initiatives, to be an incredible learning experience. Frank was an incredible asset not only for KnowledgeNet, but also for the company I worked for at the time, PlaceWare. We leaned on Frank's domain knowledge and product expertise to help drive our product direction. I believe with Frank's dedication to his organizations success and his unbelievable loyalty to his company, he would be a huge asset to any organization that would be lucky enough to have him.”

Frank takes the time to look at things from many angles and focuses on making the product AND the people that work on it a success. He was definitely a mentor to me as I became a Sr. Technical Instructor at Thomson NETg. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to take your team/company to the next level of excellence.”

“Having worked with Frank for almost 10 years, I would enthusiastically and without reservation recommend him for any leadership position. Frank is tenacious, innovative and a fantastic leader. Frank is one of the few product development leaders I have worked with that is open to feedback from the Sales organization in order to produce a better product for their customers. I would highly recommend Frank and hope to work with him again in the future.”

Ryan McDonald, VP Sales
The Training Consortium

“I first met Frank when Thomson NETg bought KnowledgeNet. I was very impressed with Frank's breadth and depth of knowledge and his commitment to the vision of the joint company. I found him to be a visionary with passion, a rare combination. I very much enjoyed working and interacting with Frank. His sense of humor would put anyone at ease and his beliefs give great comfort to those who meet him. An excellent leader whom I would heartily recommend.”

Suresh Parmar, LMS Architect

“If I were to choose one word to describe Frank, it would be “vision.” The IT industry is obsessed with important-sounding tasks and ideas that distract from the primary directions and goals of an organization. Frank has an uncanny ability to recognize distractions and cut them off, keeping himself and his team focused on what was important.

His sense of humor is infectious. When he approaches, you can’t help but smile because you know something funny is about to happen. The more I write this recommendation, the more I realize that Frank is indescribable. You just have to meet the guy for yourself. I have never worked for a manager who leads, inspires, and ethically gets the job done in amazingly tight time frames; all while making you laugh so hard you think you’re going to burst.”

Jeremy Cioara, Managing Partner

He has the rare gift of being technically savvy with excellent people skills, and he is one of the best presenters I've ever seen. His positive attitude, enthusiasm for life, drive to win, fantastic sense of humor and willingness to help others made working with Frank an absolute pleasure. I've been selling IT related solutions for more than 12 years and there is no one I'd rather have in front of a customer!”
