Larry Hartmann, Facilities Operations Manager at Xcel Energy
I worked with Oskar at Xcel energy when he was brought in as a special
SCADA IT/OT contractor with overall operational and multi plant/facilities
oversight. This included working within and development of complex teams,
various union and Senior Staff. It was my pleasure working with Oskar and
supporting the needs of this enterprise wide upgrade. I found Oskar to be
engaging, supportive and able to communicate with all of our facilities
teams, personnel and his understanding of regulatory and agency compliance.
I would recommend Oskar to any of the professionals I work with and know.
