During my tenure as Global VP of Customer Success for CustomerGauge Antony was an exceptional business partner and collaborator. He worked most effectively with me and my global team to ensure the products his team developed and maintained met the needs and expectations of our customers, as well as what the market (and therefore CustomerGauge Sales) demanded. Antony and I shared responsibility for CustomerGauge Technical Support function where my team handled Level 1 and 2 and his team Level 3. Here Antony was extremely responsive to the demands of customers, my CSMs and Project Management Office staff, providing quality and timely solutions even when strapped for resources. Antony also delivered embedded analytics into our products such that Customer Success and executive leadership had clear visibility into the "signals" of customer adoption and usage such that my could proactively drive customer value realization from an informed position. I highly recommend Antony to any company seeking an exceptional Software Development leader and cross-organizational business partner.

I was lucky to work with Antony for two years. He has built an exceptional engineering culture in CustomerGauge. Being a follower of Agile methodology he implemented the best practices from it and combed out some of them that didn’t work for the team. I must note that he trusted his colleagues and relied on their expertise without pushing his ideas in front of the others, but tried to reason about technical solutions with us. He has a huge experience as a developer himself, so it was easy to find common ground. I’d recommend Antony as an engineering manager/CTO to any organization.

      Helped a global development organization (7 locations, 300+ FTE) transition to an Agile development process.This mainly involved hosting training sessions and coaching Scrum Masters and Product Owners.Also, the products each team were working on needed to form a consistent, cohesive product suite so I also facilitated meetings to identify cross team dependencies and opportunities for reuse via an 'internal open source' model.
