To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to write on Larry Doleman's behalf. I have served as the Executive Sponsor for the NSBE Network and have come to know him quite well over the past 7 years that I have supported this Employee Resource Group (ERG). Larry is the sitting Vice President for NSBE and has held the Communications Coordinator post; I have observed his work ethic, responsiveness, and strategic vision where he looks for and maximizes opportunities to generate exposure for his organization and the company at large. Larry understands the big picture when making decisions to lead the NSBE Network and take the organization to the next level. In all of his roles with PG&E and especially with the NSBE Network, Larry has exemplified his commitment to Diversity and Inclusion, as well as, his ability to anticipate future trends for improving and contributing to PG&E's strategic vision to remain viable and competitive in the market. Under Larry's guidance, the NSBE Network successfully created the business plan to introduce our Talent & Inclusion organization to the Management Leadership for Tomorrow's (MLT) program. This high-potential leadership program satisfied a gap in the leadership development matrix to serve and support high performing African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans in the Manager, Sr. Manager, and Director positions. With the agreement of PG&E's Chief Diversity Officer, the company readily adopted this program, has sponsored multiple cohorts, and has realized strong ROI showing through the promotion of several leaders into the Director ranks. As a result of this business impact, Larry was honored as a recipient of the Presidents Diversity and Inclusion Champion Award presented by PG&E's CEO Bill Johnson. Larry is currently leading an effort to look ahead and change an aspect of PG&E's business model as it relates to revenue generation. He has assembled a team to assess the viability of capturing non-traditional sources of revenue within PG&E's service arena. This bold new concept and approach exhibits great promise for enabling PG&E to strengthen market position for future service offerings, and the exploration of this venture is supported by PG&E's Vice President of Regulatory and External Affairs to move forward with the assessment. Larry is a personable, accessible, and discerning Manager. He is a consummate professional and is highly regarded among his peers and Sr. Leadership. Larry values the concept of teamwork and highly resects the values of others particularly when making decisions that are critical to department and corporate success. For as long as I've known Larry, he has always gone above and beyond to get the job done. I highly recommend Larry for the role of Sr. Director Major Programs and Project Delivery and believe that he has the acumen, drive, and experience to lead in the organization. Please feel free to reach out to me to further discuss my observations and perspective related to his consideration for this opportunity.
