Ken my name is Steve Donahue. I am the owner of Great Plains Solutions, a small search firm/consulting company out of Bloomington. One of my Clients requested that we help them locate a candidate for their Mobil architect position they have available currently. I would like to ask you if you recall who that person was at Medtronic. Would you mind forwarding this job description to them for me?

Many thanks for your help

I hope you have a wonderful afternoon, and I look forward to speaking and working with you soon.

Many regards,
