I had the pleasure of working with Justin R on a project my company, Pentair, sponsored for the MGIM program. After a period of difficulty obtaining the necessary data and tools to conduct proper analysis, the team regrouped and were able to focus on completing the project on time. The ultimate success of the project had a lot to do with the leadership and planning Justin R brought to the team. His ability to drive to the core of the issues helped focus the team’s attention toward the most pertinent and valuable data. Furthermore, his ability to coherently communicate the team’s discoveries to the end customer facilitated meaningful iterations of process data to identify performance optimization strategies.

I had the opportunity to teach Justin Rowland in the Master of Global Innovation Management program at NC State. Justin was the project leader and coordinator for a company sponsored project in Big Data Analytics. Justin was instrumental in working with the company to scope the problem properly and negotiate the deliverables, which were vague at the start. He was very effective in organizing the student team, assigning individual tasks, and then communicating progress and results back to the company. Based on this periodic feedback, he was able to redirect the team efforts to address the issues raised. As a result, the student team was very successful in demonstrating the value of using visual analytics for problem diagnosis and troubleshooting for a complicated manufacturing process. The sponsoring company took immediate action to bring this analytics skill in house, based on the team's work and recommendation. Throughout the project ,Justin demonstrated dedication and determination to achieve the objective. He possesses a combination of technical, management, and organizational skill, which will serve him well in his future career.
