Bio
Nick Reed Smith 🚀
Austin Budke is an exceptional leader and team player. We worked together on the most challenging new product development project in our company history. This project was way beyond our core competency and was mired by extremely complicated design specifications and quality requirements. The project would have failed without Austin’s ingenuity, grit, engagement, facilitation skills, and initiative. Despite the many challenges we faced, Austin displayed irrepressible enthusiasm to learn and overcome. He frequently led the development team as the contingent project manager and added considerable value by proactively managing risk without compromising quality. We ultimately secured highly profitable new business because of his efforts. Austin's frequent nominations for our Team Member of the Month Award are just another piece of evidence highlighting his value to the firm. Thanks, Austin, for everything you do!
