IT Architect at IBM
“I am truly lucky to be colleague and friend to Albert from our years at IBM’s Retail Emerging
Business Opportunity Group. In an age of increasing commoditization and competitiveness, I am
just blown away with the way Albert’s passion matches his intelligence and technical ability. His
passion drives his curiosity, entrepreneurialism, continuous self-improvement, proactiveness, and
his ability to think laterally. Read his blog, have a drink with him, ask him to jump in when you
need help, work with him….then you will know he’s a unique man of skill and substance. A true
leader.” September 23, 2008

“Albert is a visionary, a thought leader, a team builder, and a great mentor. The years that I
worked with Albert at IBM where the best of my career. He helped to inspire drive and energy
everywhere he went. A good friend, and a great colleague. I know he will be successful anywhere
he goes.” April 23, 2009
Mike Bonar , IT Architect/Innovation Catalyst , IBM Global Business Services
worked directly with Albert at IBM Global Services
“Albert and I were colleagues with a shared goal to transform IBM into a peak-performance
knowledge-based organization. Whenever he contacted me, I sat on the edge of my chair and
gave him 100% of my attention and energy, to make sure that I got it right. I did this because he
expected it. This expectation motivated me to reach the same standard that he set through his
own example.” February 11, 2009
Matt Simpson , Business Architect and Senior Program Manager , IBM
worked with Albert at IBM Global Services
“Albert's ability to create community is a huge asset to any organization. Albert is not only a deep
technical expert in open source software development, but he also has the charisma to create
enthusiasm in an emerging concept. I saw this first hand at IBM when Albert created a global
community comprised of over 7000 IBM practitioners who found community built on the vision
that open source software such as Linux can and will generate revenue for IBM while reducing
costs for IBM clients. Albert is the perfect breed for IBM’s emerging business opportunity division;
he’s the kind of wild duck that shakes up a company the size of IBM – the mark of a true
corporate entrepreneur.” December 7, 2006

source to real world business solutions.” April 20, 2009

sense, strong leadership and communication skills. On top of all this, Albert is an outstanding
team player - he has led some of the most successful communities within IBM, and his
enthusiasm and energy are infectious. He is liked and highly regarded by all know him, and I too

Clive Harris , DE , IBM
worked with Albert at IBM
“When Albert first joined IBM as a college intern in the late 90s, he brought with him the smarts,
the positive energy, abundant enthusiasm and most importantly, he brought the creative ideas
with him since day one. IBM on a corporate level and I at the personal level have been benefited
by his presence ever since. I still maintain contact with this young man and would highly
recommend to anyone who is looking for a natural technology leader in the IT field. Fong F. Hsu”
