I had the pleasure of working with Seth at Catapult Systems for multiple years. Seth possesses the exceedingly rare combination of technical depth, customer centricity, excellent communication skills, and the ability to bring this ALL together to create products and service offerings customers want and need. We worked on multiple proposals where we won large strategic projects which were accurately scoped, staffed, and delivered. I would work on a team with Seth again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to any organization wanting to grow their business through excellent sales enablement and consistently successful technical delivery. He is a customer satisfaction machine!

Sid Atkinson
Vice President - Solutions & Strategy
I have known Seth for the past nine years, and have worked with him regularly the past four years. In that time I have seen him grow his personal brand from "the Power BI guy" to a savvy business developer and technical leader in Quisitive's Data & AI practice.
One (of many) things I have appreciated about our conversations is Seth's thoughtfulness and preparation as it has challenged me to be better in the same way. For example, Seth keeps an active list of his key topics, ideas, concerns, or questions, and has thought deeply on each one. His diligence and attention has greatly informed my own thinking over the years, and I know this practice of his has impacted many others in the team. True care and thought goes into his work, and our clients, team members, and others inside the organization feel this attention and greatly respect it. Sales teams will echo this thoughtfulness and detail in Seth's sales leadership.
Seth has been fantastic at lifting up others in the team, supporting many of the newer, as well as some tenured, team members in their growth. He has supported and trained several individuals so that they are now incredibly capable individual contributors. This measure of accountability to the team, and the team goals is fantastic. When Seth commits to or takes on a task, whether asked to or he volunteered, everyone on the team knows it will get done, and done in a manner that sets a new bar. I never worry about the work, whatever it is, when Seth leads the effort. I simply know it will be managed, led, and completed with expert care and guidance.

Azure Solutions Architect
I had the great pleasure of working directly with Seth during Catapult Systems’ Analytics on Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization audit and certification. Seth demonstrated through every step of the process his professionalism and leadership skills. This advanced specialization is no walk in the park, as it requires eligible partners to meet the highest standards for service delivery and support. Seth helped guide us through the process and worked directly with Microsoft to see that Catapult Systems was recognized for the hard work and dedication we had all contributed to this achievement. Seth had the opportunity to work with a diverse set of team members with various skills, account executives, and Catapult leadership, and somehow made the whole process seem achievable, despite the rigorous requirements. I would recommend Seth for any leadership role, both business and technical, for his ability to easily work with multiple teams and seamlessly pull together the impossible.

I have the upmost respect for Seth and his work ethic. He is an attentive listener, strong motivator, and respected leader. He valued and equally respected me as his direct report. Seth gave me constructive feedback when necessary and created a comfortable environment where I knew I could trust him. I'm grateful to have had him as a manager and mentor!

Edgar Cuellar
Data Architect
I worked closely with Seth for nearly three years, seeing him serve various roles over that time. On several occasions he was pulled into difficult discussions with clients when projects were struggling. He was able to turn those difficult situations into win-win scenarios for the client and for his team.
Although Seth may not have been closely involved in the project initially, he is able to break down complex problems and figure out a plan of action to move forward. He is able to have the customer gain confidence that the project will move in the right direction with proper accountability.
In addition, Seth is a technical leader and hands-on individual. He rolls up his sleeves and attempts to figure things out even if the technology is new for him. He knows when to reach out for assistance but makes sure to first do his homework. Seth is able to pull together the proper technical folks to efficiently run working sessions. His broad understanding of cloud analytics environments enables him to either solve problems directly or lead the engineers to reach closure on tasks.
Lastly, Seth served as mentor to me. I was new to consulting when I first started working with Seth. He is consistently generous and enjoys developing team members.

Jim Booth
Vice President of National Practices
Seth and I worked together at Catapult Systems, where he had a tremendously positive impact on our Data & AI Practice. We were always able to count on him staying focused on his clients and billable work, while also finding ways assist with team improvement initiatives. Seth was instrumental in developing new strategies for delivery, methodologies, and building assets that the entire team could utilize. He was never flashy or overbearing, but the steady workhorse any Data Engineering and Data Science team would enjoy.

Edwin Blake
Managing Consultant & Business Analyst
One of Seth’s favorite lines is “can you show me an example of that”. This indicates his analytical bent and approach to our work. What it doesn’t show is his keen perception of the human condition. We have collaborated on a number of service design and strategic workshops, mainly for Data and AI. Seth has proved to be a valuable partner during these endeavors, always impressing our clients with his technical and business virtuosity and insight. With keen wit coupled with adept management skills, Seth is a leader respected by peers and reports alike and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Data & Analytics Consultant
My mentor and direct manager at Catapult Systems, Seth Werner, taught me everything I needed to succeed in the dynamic world of consulting. Seeking counsel as a peer, a friend, or manager; Seth stepped up to the plate for me in all respects. I could not ask for a better peer in the technical trenches, nor a better leader as a manager. He has meticulously guided me down a path of success and has been the greatest asset thus far to my personal development and growth.

Jeff Stafford
Senior Associate - Data Analytics
Seth served as a Senior Consultant on our Power BI implementation at the Teachers Retirement System of Texas.
Seth built a dimensional model, along with some extremely complex financial calculations, including Internal Rate of Return (IRR). We had tasked Tableau with this task previously, and they were unable to accomplish what Seth was able to accomplish.
I worked alongside Seth for several months, and was blown away by his work ethic, logic, intelligence, and love of complex issues. He is a consummate professional, and no task seems too large for him to tackle. Additionally, no task is beneath him. He’s willing to do whatever is needed to help the client reach the finish line with accurate results.
Honestly, I wish we had a “Seth” on our team. It was a pleasure working with him, and I am very thankful for his help. He’s a great asset.

Larry Clark
Strategic Sales Consultant
As someone who has worked as a consultant with Seth on enterprise data warehousing and business intelligence implementations for our customers, I can say he's the guy I would want implementing such a system if my budget were paying for it.
I would describe Seth as meticulous, thorough, motivated, hungry for knowledge and professional. He has acquired a solid foundation in data warehousing, data modeling, business intelligence, and data visualization through years of real-world implementations. He picks up complex technologies (Microsoft's DAX language, for example) quickly and at an impressive level of depth.
In short, Seth is a pro. He keeps his skills sharp, understands clients' business requirements, and does what it takes to put the right insights in the clients' hands.

I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Seth on our BI Team at Mitratech. In addition to strong analytical and presentation skills, he is also adept at team brainstorming and problem solving. Seth and I frequently collaborated on projects involving ETL and BI, where he consistently displayed great technical expertise. He has great time management skills and is our go-to person for BI dashboarding and best practices. I have learned a lot from Seth and consider him to be a great asset to any organization.

Karen Oxenford-Melcher
Vice President of Sales Operations
Seth is an absolute rockstar and a joy to work with. I worked with Seth to introduce a new Business Intelligence platform (Sisense) into Mitratech's core Enterprise Legal Managment platform (TeamConnect) and present it to our customer's at our annual user conference (Interact). Even though I was the "front man" for the demo,
Seth worked tirelessly to ensure that I had everything I needed in order to tell a compelling story and demonstrate the incredible value that customers will realize from this new tool. He also owned the Q&A portion of the session providing clear answers to customer inquiries. His patience with my last minute requests, with teaching me how to use the tool effectively, and being a crucial part of the presentation made the project a success for Interact and for Mitratech's future. I highly recommend Seth for his intelligence, patience, and ownership.

Technical Product Manager
I worked closely with Seth as technical product manager at Mitratech. He quickly emerged as leader of the business intelligence team. He's not only a talented experienced developer who can rapidly implement the right design patterns. He's also a persuasive communicator whose presentations sold executive audiences on our road map. Seth's ownership of both the technical and business sides has earned us trust across our enterprise, and makes him a "go-to" person for our most important clients.

Analytics Manager
Seth worked for me as a consultant on a Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence project. I can say without a doubt that I was very impressed with both his work ethic and ability to produce results in a flexible and efficient manner. He very quickly came to understand our business needs and used that understanding to help build a successful solution. He worked well on his own and also extremely well with a team of two other developers. I would highly recommend Seth for any BI/DW development project.

Seth and I have worked together on two Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing projects. He is able to grasp complex concepts quickly. More importantly, he is eager to learn. Seth is a very capable technician skilled in end to end BI/DW development including ETL/ELT, dimensional modeling, and report development. Seth also has become proficient in the LeapFrogBI platform very quickly. In short, Seth is the developer that you want on your BI/DW project. He pays attention to detail, is able to work through complex tasks independently, and has the skills & experience needed to succeed.
