"Bruce helped me before, during, and after a difficult
downsizing of my department. He helped me form a pre-announcement plan,
think through the meetings with the downsized engineers, and plan the
message of reassurance to the remaining engineers. I'm pleased to say
that the downsizing went very well, and the remaining engineers were
productive within a very short time. Bruce was a great help in this
exercise, and I don't hesitate to recommend him to other executives
in the software industry."
