| "I
have known and worked with Bob DiLonardo in various capacities
for over 15 years and at three different companies. His contributions
have always been invaluable. His leadership and creativity in
new product development and marketing were a big part of the
success that we enjoyed at Security Tag Systems from the development
of our Ink Tag and benefit denial product line. As a consultant
to Sensormatic, Bob was involved in some of our most important
sales and marketing initiatives - especially in the are of return
on investment (ROI) models and cost justification for our major
prospects and clients. He is a fountain of information on the
loss prevention industry and is skilled at working at all levels
in a company. Bob's attention to detail, his work ethic, focus
and performance are top-notch. His personal ethics are without
question, and he is respected throughout the industry." |

DiLonardo's experience in both retail and on the security products

Ed
Wolfe – Vice President, Loss Prevention, Bloomingdale’s |
| "We
had several loss prevention projects where we needed the advice
of a financial professional to assist us in creating a return
on investment (ROI) profile that would stand up to the scrutiny
of our internal financial folks, and some of our key officers
as well. Bob spearheaded the creation of the ROI documents we
needed on these projects and made himself available in Chicago
for a high level review of one of the projects, which was crucial.
He was able to assist our efforts in communicating the reasoning
behind the numbers and ultimately we were successful in securing
funding. We could not have put the numbers together in the format
required without Bob's efforts". |
