Expert in Climate Control Product Development and Engineering

“As a member of Evalueserve Circle of Experts, I have had the privilege of providing some expert consulting to their clients. The process established by Evalueserve Circle of Experts is easy, seamless and was very user-friendly from start to finish. Once they establish you as a potential expert, they provide a user ID and password-protected website, where I was able to log in and create an account with them. This enabled Evalueserve Circle of Experts and their clients to review my background and contact me for consulting work. This consulting work was done via telephone. The clients had sent a list of questions, so both parties could be well-prepared and the process was very effective and efficient. This quality and efficient process was carried through to the end of the project and payment by Nitron was also effortless. I found this experience useful and would take on any additional projects with Evalueserve Circle of Experts.”

Expert in e-Commerce/Internet Technology and Marketing

“I have participated in client dinners organized by Evalueserve Circle of Experts, and served as an industry expert in several of these events. These events present industry experts and investment professionals a unique forum for the free flow of new ideas, and enables one to gauge the pulse of the tech sector, assess the investment climate, and above all, provide an opportunity to make business relationships and expand one’s network. Personally, I find these events exciting and believe they provide participants from the investment community access to the breadth and depth of knowledge directly from the very people involved in the process of innovation in the tech sector. These opinions and information is usually not available in most other forms of traditional investment research. On the flip side, industry experts get to learn what the investment community is interested in, what set of technology solutions or trends is in vogue. I would highly recommend these events to other experts and the investment community.”

“I have been a member of the Circle of Experts for nearly one year now. I find the opportunity to talk with clients about the LNG industry very stimulating since it enables me to understand the issues that concern those not directly involved in LNG and, hopefully, I am able to help them by answering their questions. I find the arrangement of telephone conversations is handled efficiently so that I can focus on the conversation with the client. Payment is processed quickly minimizing administration time.”
