INTRODUCTION

"Brant is an excellent manager and I am so thankful that I have had a chance to work under him. His leadership style is something that I admire about him. He is able to bring the best out of his team members and coach them (when needed) in navigating through difficult situations. As Senior PM and PMO Lead, he was focused in delivering value to the organization. He is supportive and collaborative, and truly exemplifies blue culture. I highly recommend Brant and I am positive that he will continue to do great things in his career!"

Ria Urbi, PMP

Project Manager

"I’m lucky to have worked for Brant, a leader who’s not only interested in the company’s bottom line, but also in his employees’ professional growth. Brant is someone who knows how to bring people together using his enthusiasm and ability to influence colleagues at all levels. He is highly motivated and dedicates himself to the success of his organization.

His undeniable technical abilities and subject matter expertise make him an exceptional asset to any company. He is motivated, forward-thinking, methodical, and puts his 100% into everything he does.

As a leader and mentor, Brant has my highest recommendation."

Anita Sharma

• Manager, Project Communications & Engagement at Shoppers Drug Mart

"Brant has been one of the easiest people to work with during our collaborative sessions at MediSystem (Shoppers Drug Mart). Brant shows a quick understanding of requirements, and an insanely wonderful way of being able to help put a project into perspective with the "big picture"!

I was fortunate to learn a few key abilities in project management from Brant, and thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Brant led through example and would freely answer any questions; while supporting requests which would seem random; but his keen understanding of the organization's vision and strategic plan, allowed him to see and immediately allocate the right resources to the said request. This brought together a wonderful synergy among diverse teams working to a common goal.

I'm glad to have had the chance to work with you, Brant, and wish you continued success in the future!"

Susheel Oommen George

Manager, Customer Experience at MediSystem Pharmacy

"I haven't written a lot of recommendation letters recently however in this case I felt compelled to share my thoughts with the world. I had collaborated with Brant on a number of projects prior to joining his team, so when the opportunity came up I jumped, already knowing his leadership style.

He has a down to earth way about him that makes him very approachable, even if a project milestone has been missed.

Any issue that arose he was always supportive to ensure we focused on solutions, however we would always cycle back for lessons learned. He also made sure we took the time to celebrate wins, which becomes ever more important when colleagues have overloaded plates.

On top of all of that Brant is very tech savvy and is two steps ahead of everyone in terms of leveraging technological solutions to simplify tasks and build efficiencies.

If I had to summarize Brant's style in a few words: he brings the right people together, connects the dots and gets things done.

In case the message didn’t come through as of yet: he is an absolute pleasure to work with."

James Eaman

Project Manager at MediSystem Pharmacy

"In the 2+ years that I had the pleasure of working with Brant in the MediSystem Project Management Office, I benefited directly in a number of ways both initially as a peer project manager and subsequently as one of Brant's direct reports when he assumed leadership of the PMO.

I count Brant as a catalyst for personal development in his frank yet approachable manner, his openness to share his knowledge, his ability to coach with inspiration, and his genuinely collaborative approach to assignments.

In a few short months Brant was able to build not only the structures, tools, and processes for the newly created PMO, but also to develop a unique team culture that quickly became the envy of organization.

His technical skills with a variety of tools and systems made him very sought after within MediSystem to help other teams in adding structure to their own operations.

But what sets Brant apart in my view is not simply the skills, but his willingness and proficiency to share these skills with others, empowering a large sector of the company. This was largely facilitated by his ease with every member of the organization, regardless of position or pay grade.

Brant is the consummate professional in every fashion, and I have no reservations in recommending him wholeheartedly."

Chris Narinesingh

Business Process Manager at MediSystem Pharmacy

"Brant is a leader capable of managing large teams and is adept at adjusting to the individual personality styles of his team both in person and remotely. Always setting goals for himself and his team, he is as passionate about developing and mentoring others as he is in driving his own self-improvement.

I had many opportunities to work with Brant and to witness his collaborative nature and it always amazed me how willing he was to work closely with every member of the organization if it meant sharing or developing ideas.

Composed and strategic in thought, Brant is frequently the anchor that keeps a project or discussion moving forward and does so in a calm and productive manner when others can get frustrated or when personalities clash. When it comes to integrating into a new team, he quickly earns the trust of the room and is an expert at introducing new processes and strategies for cost-control that don’t limit his team’s ability to execute.

Brant also has a knack for technology and always keeps on top of current trends to ensure that his teams are working optimally with tools that can make their jobs easier.

I had the pleasure of working with Brant for two years at Mosaic and know that, while he is missed at Mosaic, he will continue to be a productive, empowering leader wherever he goes."

Chris Feasby

Director, Strategy and Consulting at Fidelity Investments

"I have had the pleasure of working with Brant in a fast paced retail environment. Our areas discussion while working together centered around labour management, sales forecasting, strategic planning and final mile execution.

Brant was a fantastic partner in these conversations as his background and knowledge provided valuable insight & perspective in order to make sure the organizations plans were both realistic and executed successfully.

Brant would be a welcome addition to any organization as he brings a great combination of strong management style and invaluable people skills in order to do what needs to be done in the right way."

Chris Morrison

Manager, Insight and Planning at The Source

"Brant is a skilled communicator. Whether in person, over the telephone, via email, or even across workplace media, he conveys a warmth and professionalism that not only clearly conveys his objectives, but also make the recipient feel at ease.

Brant is a great motivator and a resourceful problem solver. It has been my pleasure to have worked with him for the last 2 years at Mosaic." 

Monika Panitz

District Manager at Mosaic Sales Solutions

"Brant Beckta is a top-notch technical operator. During his time at The Body Shop, I had the pleasure and the privilege of working right beside him. He was passionate about retail operations and was always keen to build out new processes and ways of working to further the organization.

One of Brant’s core strengths lies with his effectiveness to build long lasting and trusting relationships with his colleagues and peers. It is without a doubt that Brant is an effective leader with a strong knack for team building.

He is professional, resourceful and someone you can count on to get the job done.

I truly hope our paths cross again, as I would love the opportunity to work with Brant in the future."
