Before I met Frank, someone should have said: “Fasten your seatbelts; Put your seatback in the upright position.” Some people have their "forte" in managing, others in investing, performance improvement, technology, leadership, etc. I’ve met senior executives all over the world, but have rarely met a CEO who is such a strong crosswise dispenser of knowledge and expertise. His impressive C-Suite experience, clarity, and a particular capability of "seeing" what's next, bless him with great talent across many complex business subjects. Frank is a proven C-level knowledge resource and guide — in the true sense of the word "Chief". (2010)
