I worked with Craig for several years on a variety of projects, including one which went on to win a national innovation award and became an international case study for both Nokia and Anoto. Craig brings a wealth of experience to any environment he works in and this allows him to make a positive impact even in the most challenging of circumstances. Not only does he add value to any team or project, he brings fresh perspective and new ideas that helps bring out the best in others. I would have no hesitation in recommending Craig to anyone considering inviting him to work with them to achieve challenging outcomes.
