I have known and worked with Dennis over many years in his role as an expert covering the global capacitor market. His research and analysis have been very helpful on mulitiple levels.” Johhny Boan, Vice President Business Development at KEMET Electronic Corporation “Dennis is the premier authority in the tantalum supply/demand chain. He maintains close contact with all levels of industry to ensure that his work is wide ranging and up to date. I highly recommend his work and he is an easy guy to communicate with.” Bryan Ellis, CEO Global Advanced Metals- Cabot Supermetals. “Dennis provided us good information related to market research in the field of film capacitors and passive components in general. Magazines and papers from PCIM and Paumanok are good references for our industry.” Antonio Carlos Marsiglia, President and CEO EPCOS Electronic Components “I have known Dennis for over 10 years and over that period I have used his reports, expertise and guidance on a regular basis to support strategy development at KEMET Electronics.” Dr. Daniel Persico, Business Development, Kemet Electronics Limiting the attribute choices to three in Dennis's case is not fair. Dennis meets all of the criteria equally and with high standards for each. I initially met Dennis when researching electronic components made in China, we procured Dennis's work and subsequently hired him to assist with multiple research projects. Dennis as definitely a true professional and expert in his work and has taught me much during a relationship which I consider to be not only valuable but one which has become trusted and personal.” Len Zuga, Battelle Memorial Institute “Dennis is a true treasure. In addition to his intellectual prowess, market research brilliance, and innovative capacity, he is also committed to his community and his family. As I think about the wisdom found credited to many of the great leaders in history I realize that Dennis could have easily been the source. Dennis is a refreshing source of out-of the-box thinking, lateral insights, and profound analytical skills. If I'm betting, I'm betting on Dennis.” Brent Ward, Director of Commercialization at RTI International Related Reports From Paumanok Publications, Inc.
