Don is without doubt the finest Sr Engineering Director I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only are his leadership skills second to none as others have commented - but its the other skills Don posseses to make him a must-have partner for any product management team. Don's business acumen, presentation skills, communication skills and ability to work seamlessly across all aspects of the company from individual contributors all the way to senior executives are exemplary. Don truly is a trusted engineering partner and that feeling is echoed across the entire product management team. Without Don's drive, vision, planning and execution the industry changing OpenDXL initiative would never have gotten off the ground - he deserves all the credit for delivering a game changing technology back to the industry. This was not a simple task as not only did it involve planning and execution on the technology side, it also required a mind shift change for the company - something that Don championed through presentation after presentation, conference call after conference call, conversation after conversation, driving it to release. Don is also the most hard working executive I have ever worked with - always available and working early in the morning and late into the night - I will miss those late night conversations or discussions over a glass of wine, where we shaped strategy, defined the future and devised execution plans to deliver on the now. I would jump at the chance to work with Don again in a heartbeat - he is by far the best engineering partner I have ever had. As you can tell from the above - I cannot recommend Don highly enough. If you are looking for a seasoned executive with a track record of exemplary high quality, on time, innovative releases and someone that is as comfortable on the engineering floor as they are in the Boardroom there is no-one better in my opinion. On top of his engineering leadership skills, Don is a gifted strategist and will be an incredible asset to any company.

Don led Data Exchange Layer (DXL) and other cross-platform component engineering during my tenure at McAfee. I found Don to be a strong technical engineering leader who effectively delivered a number of platform services & new capabilities supporting multiple enterprise security product teams, including key elements of MVision ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO). I recommend Don as s a very strong results-oriented leader.
