Stanford GSB – Sample MBA Recommendation By Former Supervisor

Please describe your relationship to the candidate and  the circumstances under which you have known him.

I have known ABC since the year . ABC had been reporting to me During my tenure with DEF Inc. as the business head for Information and Risk solutions. At a very early stage of his career ABC showed great maturity in developing the Fund Services Business. He is an entrepreneur at heart with a demonstrated ability in building business units from ground-up

How is the candidate’s impact on your organization different from that of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles?

ABC has great combination of strategic and operational execution abilities. Start-up business units under his management have delivered beyond expectations, considering the time span involved, revenue growth rates and revenue quality. He is one of the few employees who awarded a “Far Exceeds” rating in the year 2002. Typically far exceeds rating is awarded to only top 5% percentile of the employees at DEF. Amongst peer group I would place him in the top 5% percentile of the employees with similar work experience, education and level of responsibility.
