The first and last encounter with Chad are the same. You get exactly what you see on the tin - an intelligent, personable, influential architect leader who acts as a central pillar to whichever situation he finds himself in. He may be a little wrinkly around the edges but he taught me a lesson or two on the squash court, clearly extending his professional skills to the physical domain. Its refreshing to come across an architect who 'gets it' and also gives data its true place. A keen technologist there are few domains that Chad is not well learned at - be it cloud, big data, security, apps or tech. It's been a pleasure.

Chad has a well-deserved reputation for being an innovative technologist with the ability to solve real world business problems. I was less aware of his ability to take a long term, heuristic view when problem solving and the depth of his knowledge. He negotiated with customers, suppliers and partners on our behalf with a professional maturity. Chad has the ability to take extremely complex problems and see a clear solution. From day one he led our strategic thinking by defining new products and technologies to find meaning in very large volumes of data. Chad was always highly enthusiastic and upbeat. He never missed a single day and is extremely conscientious. He will make a great contribution to any team he works in.
