I worked with Aden during a difficult season of change where we faced some of the most wicked problems and challenging opportunities. Aden instantly knew how to navigate the enormous task of breaking down barriers, establishing and building relationships, and influencing positive change resulting in the delivery of strategic initiatives. Aden is a transformational leader inspiring others to move mountains by pouring his heart and soul into the team, the mission, and the organization. He is a mentor at every opportunity, uses his humor and pleasing personality to bring teams together, and continues to raise the bar for his own leadership development. It is a privilege to work with and learn from a leader of this caliber.
