Director of OT/ICS Security | Armexa

“I’ve known Walter since our time at Cimation starting in 2012. During 2012–2014, we worked closely on a major SCADA project for a supermajor oil company in the Permian Basin—my Houston team handled network architecture and ICS security, while Walt’s Denver-based team led SCADA design and implementation.

Walt proved to be an exceptional field leader—strong, in charge, and focused, yet collaborative and perceptive of both team and client dynamics. He quickly identified root causes during implementation, avoided delays, and earned several client accolades. His ability to manage people, processes, and client expectations was unmatched. It’s my sincere hope that we get to collaborate again.”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Walter on several large enterprise/SCADA projects. He is truly one of the most talented, insightful, and experienced individuals I’ve met in this—or any—industry. His knowledge spans Operations, Management, Software Development, and Engineering Design. I would welcome Walter to any project team as a crucial resource. He’s also an upstanding member of his community who genuinely cares about others.”
