10 people have recommended Warren

"I have had the pleasure of working with Warren both directly and indirectly during my 3 years
at SAP. Warren has the unique ability to be an extremely effective manager by providing the
proper amount of guidance to allow his team to perform effectively without the need for micro-
management. I attribute much of this effective leadership skill to his military service in the U.S.
coast guard. As the Adobe CQ competency center manager, Warren has been spearheading what
has become the first successful web content management system implementation at SAP. I am
newly involved with this project under Warren and find that his expert guidance has allowed me
to learn the skills quickly that are needed to be an effective team member; I was able to ramp up
quickly to become one of the WCMS release managers. Warren is also highly skilled at managing
and coordinating work between teams across the globe, a skill that I have personally found very
challenging in my own past management experience."

—Jeff Humphry, Senior Architect,  CareCam Health Systems,  worked indirectly for Warren at SAP

"I had the pleasure of working with Warren on many projects at SAP. Warren is always up to
date on the latest web trends, technologies and marketing business practices and has worked
tirelessly to apply that industry expertise to the web group at SAP. In addition to his deep technical
understanding, Warren is a great "people person" and always went out of his way to make his
colleagues - especially those from remote offices, such as myself - feel welcome and a part of the
team."

—Mark Demeny, Manager, OrchestraCMS Solutions,  Stantive Technologies Group Inc.,  worked

directly with Warren at SAP

"Warren not only taught me the value of business in Information Technology, he helped me grow
into the person I am today with great mentoring and leadership quality. My career at SAP would not
have been as successful without his guidance."

—Davis Lee, Senior Creative Director,  Marketo,  worked directly with Warren at SAP Markets
"Warren is one of the most fascinating people I ever met. Work ethic, competence, detail oriented,
cordiality, team cohesion are the few attributes that may characterize him. Warren gained a
reputation among all of us as a Manager that has things done."

—Filinto Diouf, QA Manager,  Relay Network,  worked directly with Warren at SAP

"I have worked with Warren Dutton at SAP for almost 10 years, (4 as my boss). He has worked as
a developer, tester, network engineer, solution architect, business analyst and manager on 30+
projects. Most projects at SAP require multi language support, and almost all have 3rd party data
or dependencies that need to be negotiated. He provides a positive example for those around him
and is a leader in every respect. His experience in the coast guard has thought him to live a very
consistent schedule in order to properly balance work, family and friends. He arrives early every
morning to exercise, learn new skills, and respond to all the international emails that have arrived
overnight. Warren's greatest strength is his ability to multi task at every level of an enterprise
project. He is able to transition from high level budget meeting to debugging code instantly. It is truly
a pleasure working with him on projects."

—Garrett Schneider, CQ5 Senior Web Application Engineer/Architect,  SAP,  reported to Warren at

SAP

"Warren has all the attributes of a well rounded IT Professional/Manager. He displays excellent
analytical and technical ability and keeps his skill set up to date with the latest in the IT field
and enterprise web development in particular. This coupled with his great leadership and
communication skills made it a pleasure to work for him. With his disciplined approach and
dedication towards work, He is a great asset for any team."

—Aman Khanna, Manager, Software Engineering,  Capital One,  reported to Warren at SAP

"Warren provides something that is so vital to doing business today: Practical, applicable and
above all effective results. Without his guidance many of our projects and programs would have
taken a much long time to complete and more than likely would have been less effective. Moreover
working with Warren is professionalism in person. His ability to work through complex ideas and
organizations is just short of astounding. Finally, there are few people with this level of technical
and managerial skills that are simply a pleasure to be around and talk about non-work related
topics. Warren is definitely a core asset to SAP."

—Andy Pinchock, Web Engagement Manager,  SAP AG,  worked with Warren at SAP

"Warren is a energetic mix of solution architect, project and functional manager. Warren has been
one of the key personnel for many SAP and SAP.com internal and external web projects. When
there is a global project involving a colloboration of teams and cultures, Warren always is tabbed
 as the go-to person who gels the teams together and makes it work. I've personally leveraged his
technical expertise for over 5 years on many SAP initiatives (Education Portal, SMART, SMB, etc).
Outside of being a technical geek, he also has top-notch soft-skills to boot!"

—Kevin Daly, Services Sales Engagement Manager, SAP SuccessFactors (Cloud HCM),  SAP
SuccessFactors,  worked indirectly for Warren at SAP

"As a Senior Leader within the SAP organization, Warren provides great direction and insight.
From high-level executive strategy to granular execution details - Warren possesses the unique
combination of skills required to manage global initiatives across the enterprise. His ability to
accurately assess technical and procedural impacts allows Teams to plan and deliver more
effectively. Warren never hesitates to bring his wealth of knowledge and experience to bear,
resulting in a consistent track record of achievements that add significant value to company. It is
a pleasure working with Warren because he is able to delegate easily and allow his resources to
grow in confidence knowing they have his support at all times. I can strongly recommend Warren
for any leadership role where he would have the opportunity to exceed expectations and contribute
to the success of organization. October 15, 2009"

—Brian Dunn, PMP, Retired,  Dunn & Co,  worked indirectly for Warren at SAP

"It is a little bit more challenging to recommend your boss than a friend or just a colleague. But I
do want you to know whom you are working for in case that some day you might work for Warren
as well. First of all, prepare yourself to work hard; but you always have clear goals and directions
for your tasks, and full support and backup when you need them. Prepare yourself for constant
learning and growth; you are always encouraged to learn new things, given opportunities for more
responsibilities and realize your full potentials. Prepare yourself for fun; working for Warren means
professional respect from your boss, exotic chocolate when he is back from a trip to Germany."

—Jing Li, Lead Business Systems Analyst / Senior IT Business Architect,  SAP,  reported to Warren
