Matt Y

Matt Y has gone above and beyond what is required. He has been assisting with PM for the UC project under the Telecom team for several years. He also attends meetings with AT&T and helps with their invoices. In addition, after we recently hired a new person on the Network team, Matt has done the majority of the heavy lifting to help train and onboard the new person. And while doing all of this, Matt is always happy, professional and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Matt for all your hard work, it's great to have on the Network team!
