Andrew Todhunter

“I would encourage myself to be a little bolder in forming and maintaining relationships with people. At fourteen I certainly didn't have the same confidence. I never really had a plan for where I was going, I tried to find things that interested me at the time.” Today, Andrew Todhunter is the CEO and President of Proponent. For him, the best moments are “when we come up with some sort of innovative, sophisticated customer or supplier solution and create a new business arrangement.”

“The first thing is to get your personal finances under control, because there's a lot of decisions that you can make if your personal financial health is already taken care of”, says Melissa Wong, Regional Manager Customer Relationship and Global Customer Quality as well as a Learning and Development Specialist at Proponent. “The coolest thing is that our parts help people get home to their loved ones safely on the airplanes and that really brings me a lot of joy.”

Daniel Valdez

“Focus and listen to the instructors, they're not there to be your enemies. They're there to guide you”, says Daniel Valdez, Senior Systems Administrator at Proponent. “Overall, I just love IT. I have a passion for it, I've had a passion for it for the past twenty years. What I love most about it here are the people, they are what makes my job worthwhile.”

David Cresine

“Be more focused, have some structure. You've got different things going on all the time”, is one piece of advice David Cresine, Purchasing Agent at Proponent, would give to his 14-year-old self. “The best thing is when you have an issue where it's been going back and forth for sometimes months and then the customer is finally happy, we're selling the product. That's rewarding!”
