Kudos

I’ve been so fortunate to work with great people who have taught me so much. I thank them from the bottom of my heart and I’m grateful for their contribution into my professional career. Here are some of their comments about me:

Bob Hotard, Website Manager, AT&T
worked directly with Bo at BearingPoint

“Rarely does someone comes along that can do technical design, understand web design code AND be able to communicate with creative designers, business clients and leadership alike. Most people with Bo's technical knowledge can not come out of that "development shell" to see the big picture or understand a company's web strategy. Bo does! We didn't know each other that well when we started working together on a special project, but by the time it was over, I can say without a doubt - as we say here in Texas - "I would hire him in a heartbeat." I know you wouldn't expect anything else other than a glowing recommendation, but my challenge to you is to go with Bo and watch how he completely commits himself to the services he provides your company. As a Senior Business Consultant, he was one of the rare contractors that were really able to empathize with AT&T Corporate strategy and goals and integrate that into his everyday work. He has one of those qualities that you don't get from many employees today - and that would be hard work. His dedication produces consistent, reliable and superlative results. I can assure you if position would become available on my team; I will come looking for Bo Lora.”

Bo is a talented and well rounded UI designer with great business and leadership experience. Bo is an excellent project teammate. I've watched Bo consult for industries leading design and web retail management teams during complex redesign initiatives with tremendous dexterity. His collaborative and instructive style is highly effective while his detailed understanding of design principles, process engineering and software development make him a compelling advisor. I look forward to being able to work with Bo on future projects.”

Bo was constantly coming up with innovative tools and best practices to drive this effort forward ... one key tool was named the "BLT" (Bo Lora Tool) and was used by all web development teams for a couple of years. Vision, energy, integrity ... those are the words that come to mind when I think of Bo. He's a great asset to any team lucky enough to have him.”
