Ron Zanetti, MBA

“I had the great fortune of working with Ron while at Meteorcomm (MCC) on the Positive Train Control (PTC) program. This program was mandated by the FRA, and NTSB of the four major Railroads which collectively owned MCC. I do not believe that the success the company achieved and the owner’s value would have been as well served had not Ron been in this position of responsibility. Ron was asked to wear several hats above and beyond his job description. As the Controller and Accounting Director Ron built a high performing and cohesive team dedicated to excellence in their work within what can be called the ‘the chaos’ of our startup environment. He was able to significantly increase team performance and organizational compliance while working with the challenges of ambiguous data and incomplete information. As interim Director of IT, he managed the net-ops team and kept things running, always a great team player and leader, willing to do whatever it takes. Many times, Ron was given new responsibilities, such as payroll, benefits, managing IT, and an FRA grant, and Ron took those challenges on in stride and established disciplined controls and processes, ensuring compliance, better results for employees and partners, and building lasting relationships along the way. On a personal note having worked with Ron for several years I know from experience that this personal integrity and moral compass points true north. I would not hesitate to work with Ron again. ”

“I worked for Ron at thePlatform, and managed FP&A and information systems as part of his team. We were responsible for financial planning, customer analytics, and serving as a finance partner to our executives and company owners. My role was made easy in many ways because of Ron’s strong leadership in building the finance function into a trusted advisor to our CEO and executives. Ron is an inspiring leader that lays out a clear vision then gives his team autonomy to make it a reality. He is always available to provide guidance and advice. Ron is exceptional at building teams, he is an invaluable mentor, and is a very strong and effective advocate for his staff. Ron has become a resource across the company for solving problems associated with international expansion. I admire his analytical prowess and ability to anticipate well in advance many of the issues we faced as a fast growing company. He seemed to effortlessly navigate the blur of the startup environment. Ron is one of the most effective communicators I have ever known, and is adept at providing clarity to complex issues. I wholeheartedly recommend Ron and hope to work for him again. ”
