Footwear Expert and technical “shoe dog” is what comes to mind when introducing Lenny Holden. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lenny for nearly 20 years, most recently working with him closely on a FAN PLM implementation project. We are colleagues, each leading this project for our respective clients, to implement the PLM package. Creating user-friendly tools for an effective system that will meet and exceed the company’s business expectations. Above all, I was impressed with his ability to handle the toughest situations, humbly leading by example and interjecting his vast industry knowledge into the project. Lenny is a mentor, incredibly generous with his time and expertise, willing to listen, share ideas and support group decisions. Lenny, who has my wholehearted recommendation, is an expert and great working partner, who would be a true asset for any project that requires technical knowledge and practical experience.
