When Tomas Salazar started working with Commercial Plastics Recycling, I didn’t realize how much or how quickly everything would change, for the business and for me personally.

Tomas was able to see the gaps in our operation and didn’t just point them out, he helped us build the systems to close them. Under his guidance, we’ve brought real structure to how we operate, clarified roles that used to blur together, and started making decisions based on data instead of gut instinct alone. Decisions that used to feel reactive now feels intentional.

The results have come fast. We’ve seen our operational efficiencies increase significantly within just one week of implementing his recommendations, and we’re confident in the plan he’s laid out to help us become a genuinely profitable, sustainable company.

What’s stuck with me the most is how Tomas cares about the people he works with. He pushed me to step into a role I wasn’t sure I was ready for, asked us hard questions when we needed to hear them, and gave me the confidence to actually lead instead of just having the title. He’s changed how I show up at work, and honestly, how I show up in the rest of my life too.

Every person we’ve worked with at Cogent Analytics, including Matthew Manning and Wade Rogers have been exactly what we needed and genuinely invested in our success.

I’m grateful to Cogent Analytics for giving us hope in turning our family business around and providing the tools to do so.
