What Others Have to Say

"Norm is a first rate CFO. He was my finance guy for 3 years. He is detail oriented, very good at cutting through the corporate views of financial information (which are often opaque) and framing it in a more "small company" P&L style. He built all my benefit models for our shared services. He also managed the financial projections for our compute grid, which meant juggling fixed costs in, to variable usage-based allocations out - always coming within 0.5% of the desired target.Norm is a first rate CFO.

Norman was the business manager for all of IT when I was CIO for Deutche Bank's Asset Management Division. Norm not only oversaw the various day to day IT financial managment issues but was also integral during the purchase of the Zurich Scudder business by DB. From a CIO's perspective, one could not look for more in a key business manager. Norman had complete command of how best to bring sound financial management so a large scale IT operation (budget > $200m) as well as establish sound business practices throughout the department. He was a trusted advisor on all issues related to managing the department and could be counted upon to give wise counsel related to any item I'd bring to his attention. A CIO always needs to know that someone's "watching his back" and I relied upon Norman for this. Norman is a person of the highest integrity and would be someone I'd always look to have on the bus.

Norm is a proven Financial Executive. He was the financial officer who architected and later implemented one of Wall Streets first infrastructure charge back models, widely known as the compute back-bone or CBB at JP Morgan Chase. The direct result of this financial methodology was dramatic cost cutting and deferring of future infrastructure spend firm wide for lending and borrowing of CPU’s across multiple LoB’s. He worked with the infrastructure groups and lead the financial team in the first private cloud charge-back models well before Google and Amazon caught on that this was a good idea.

I had the great pleasure of working for Norm at Deutsche Bank. He is a strategic thinker yet knows the details like the back of his hand; enabling results which are innovative and practical. Norm is energetic, optimistic and open to fresh ideas. He's excellent at balancing the strategic needs of the business with the financial realities to arrive at a smart, timely solution. Norm fostered a team environment conducive to learning, developing excellent skills and delivering quality solutions. He champions his staff throughout the organization. I would be delighted to work with Norm again.
