Bio
Jeremy Leys
Tomas Dickson is a highly effective leader, I had the pleasure of working alongside him as one of my fellow HODs and also reported directly to him when he stepped up to C-Suite as Interim Customer Success Director. He has strong commercial and technical acumen. Tomas is calm, collective and steadfast in his decision making, he embodies servant leadership. Tomas is a strong operator and master delegator, he calms conflicts and galvanises hearts and minds. Tomas is a muse for those around him, bringing out the best in them. Tomas inspires loyalty, he looks after his staff with a firm yet gentle hand and radiates customer centricity. Tomas is one of the mostly highly functioning executives I have ever seen, he belongs in C-Suite.
Jacques Lourens
Tomas is a trusted advisor. His primary method of earning my trust has been continually getting the job done. He is one of my favourite people to bounce ideas off because he's able to think big picture while maintaining a keen eye for the microscopic moving parts. He always brings a unique and welcomed perspective to any discussion and understands implicitly how to view things through the eyes of the customer.
