Cleo Roch

Cleo is a member of the Analysis team and serves in the role as Analysis Director.  She has been with SGS Maine Pointe for 8+ years, starting her career with us as an Operations Excellence Consultant.

Cleo’s selection as our March winner is in recognition of her leadership role for a vital analysis project, but is also influenced by her successful leadership of a specialty products analysis which immediately proceeded and somewhat overlapped multiple projects.

Cleo was successful in navigating the multi-time zone analysis, juggling an enormous number of tasks required, building a trusted relationship with the client and their private equity owners, and assembling a combined implementation plan aligned with the client’s own initiatives. 

Guillermo Gonzalez

Guillermo has taken a leadership role within a client engagement and is providing influence on the SGS Maine Pointe team and the client CFT’s.

Guillermo leads standups calls, works independently with his CFT’s, and is driving reporting consolidation globally for the client, all while setting it up to be sustainable and owned by them.

Guillermo started his influencing at the ground level within this project, versus a top down, due to the lack of core executive leadership in place and did not skip a beat.

Several executive leaders at the client now lean on Guillermo to provide data and reports, directly out of their systems, as Guillermo builds out the dashboards for them, that tie in directly to their multiple ERP systems around the world.

Guillermo exhibits empathy, emotional intelligence, a great work ethic, and excellence in his deliverables.
