I've worked with Allan in different companies over several years. Allan is both a very capable technologist and one of the most effective managers I have worked with. Notable characteristics are his drive; his focus on successful delivery; his attention to detail; his commitment to continuous improvement; his lead from the front approach to managing others; and the strong relationship and loyalty he builds with those that work with and for him. I greatly enjoyed working with Allan, and look forward to working with him again in the future.
