Recommendations

  • K. Lemmer, Dir. of Product Mgmt, Tom is very personal and experienced in business, in HR areas as well as in decision process, administration and project management. He has an excellent grasp of planning and managing a team well. He brings a great degree of calm, solidness and clear thinking in a busy environment.
  • K. Schifferle, CEO and Founder, Tom was an extremely valuable member of my senior leadership team for over five years. During that time Tom helped the company through intense growth phases, executing a diverse range of company initiatives and projects….Tom has contributed to our company vision as well, and his genuine and honest character is reflected in the development of our company values. I highly recommend Tom.
  • M. Montgomery, Marketing Director, Tom is an excellent leader who can help move a company towards its goals with great precision and efficiency…He has masterfully led teams to complete complex, strategic objectives, and adapt to moving targets. I admire his deep understanding of technical systems and software engineering. He's an excellent communicator and builds trust, collaboration, and creativity. I've watched him break down silos that stifle progress and enable teams to hurdle difficult obstacles.
  • K. Kinell, VP of Engineering, Tom rocks. It's as simple as that. If you want your company to get more work accomplished, be organized, meet deadlines, make the right hires and generally make everything in the office go smoother, and do it all in a professional manner (with bonus humor and fun analogies added in) then Tom is your guy….Although Tom did more than run development, he also was key as an overall company leader and helped with strategy and company direction.
