Nathaniel Seeley - Owner of BlueSoft Websites, Arizona
Michael D'Amato, CPA LinkedIn Recommendation
It is with great pleasure I make this recommendation for Michael D’Amato. Michael and The Children’s Place have been a customer of ours for many years. Michael was not only great to work with, but he brought so much business knowledge to the table and ideas that changed how one approaches physical inventory analytics. Along with our teams, Michael designed a portfolio of tools with his creative thinking to gain efficiencies and controls that saved time and money along with enhancing the accuracy of the inventories.
Mike brought a breadth of his colleagues to round out the company's perspective including Finance, Operations, Loss Prevention and Procurement functional leaders. This enabled The Children's Place to gain better overall perspectives and speaks well for Michael's teamwork and the ability to bring people from different functional areas together. He worked very hard for The Children’s Place and Michael comes highly recommended for his creativity, analytical and inter-personal skills. Any team would be proud to have Michael.
Ed Tonkon - President, Zebra Retail Solutions at Zebra Technologies
Michael D'Amato, CPA LinkedIn Recommendation
Michael is self-motivated and always took responsibility for the work assigned to him. Michael was able to quickly assess a business problem, propose analytic approaches, identify the needed data and execute in a timely manner. Michael is an inventory veteran so he was able to resolve very complex problems logically. A retail lifer, he knows how the business operates from the inside out. Michael was the one other departments such as merchandising, planning and loss prevention went to for help to quickly solve their issues. A great team player with excellent systems and PC skills to go along with a thorough knowledge of everything related to inventory and gross margin.
I recommend Michael as one of the most competent inventory professionals I have worked with. He is a pleasure to work with and I would hire him again.
