LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION: Lisa Keyser, Sales Manager at RollPros

April 17, 2023

To Whom It May Concern: It is with great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Tyler Vaughn. I have known Tyler for two years and more recently as the Sales and Marketing Director at RollPros.

It was apparent from my first days of working with Tyler that he was both an exceptional leader for our sales team and an accomplished salesperson in his own right. As a leader, Tyler exemplified all of the qualities you would expect from a sales leader; inspiring and attending to the team while demonstrating dedication and commitment to the company goals and culture. As a leader, he brought RollPros from a virtually unknown start-up, to the multi-million dollar company that it is today.

On a personal note, I would be remiss if I did not speak to not only Tyler’s business acumen, leadership skills and accomplishments, but as well, share that he is a man of great integrity and one of the kindest people I have ever met.

Tyler will be an asset to any organization that is lucky enough to have him.

Sincerely,

Lisa Keyser (201) 914-5964 lisa@moonreef.com

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION: Lise Bernard, Director of Sales at Green Vault Solutions

April 27, 2023

To Whom It May Concern: I have known Tyler for over two years. While he and I have not worked together at the same company; we have spent many hours collaborating on projects, best practices, and all the things that two people in the same industry, in the same position, with much mutual respect, share as they pave the way for new sales teams with new technology.

As much as I can speak for Tyler's ability to inspire and lead, (from my vantage point at least), I also happen to know his sales team very well, and simply put, they adore him. As you will see from his resume, his experience in driving revenue and leading internal teams is expansive, his success at RollPros is not, as they say, a 'one off'.

Aside from his leadership and business acumen, Tyler is a stand up fellow: hardworking, honest, and well respected throughout our community.

Best, Lise Bernard lise.bernard2555@gmail.com
