“I have known Alan well for over 15 years. What is most amazing about Alan is the balance of both left and right brain intelligence he brings to the table that I find very rare in the world. He is a trusted, patient, and unselfish advisor that I would highly recommend to anyone.”

"In my capacity as the Master Black Belt for the longest running aircraft production line in history, the C-130, I worked with Alan Varagona for close to a decade. Whenever there was an issue of great complexity that required solving, Alan was the first person that came to mind.

When you are responsible for directing the Lean Six Sigma projects for a program of that size, you learn very quickly what your team members’ specialties are. Alan’s demeanor, attention to detail and ability to see project to a successful conclusion are unmatched.

There were even times when I would prefer he led a Kaizen type event over myself. That may sound odd given I was the only MBB on the program, but I knew Alan was a better fit.

Simply put, there is no other person that I have worked with over the years that I have more confidence in than Alan.”
