Sarah Gigous, Former Director, Office of System Management

“Working with Sierra-Cedar has been a rewarding experience.  We have found them to be unique in this market space.  They are large enough to be able to flexibly address resource needs.  However, unlike many of the larger firms, Sierra-Cedar’s ability to adapt to project changes, and creatively resolve project challenges when presented make them a great partner to work with.“

Sarah Gigous, Former Director, Office of System Management – State of Kansas

Daniel G. McCarron, Comptroller

“In those initial days following the storm, I was struck by the resolve and determination of the Port Authority and Sierra-Cedar team; not once was it said, “Just delay payroll a couple of days, people will understand considering the circumstances.” On behalf of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, please accept my deepest gratitude for all the tireless efforts the Sierra-Cedar staff performed responding to Hurricane Sandy.”

Daniel G. McCarron, Comptroller – The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
