Bio
Ryan Brambles
I worked with Elliot for 12 months during his time at IBM CIO London. Elliot is an enthusiastic individual with a clear passion to learn. He adds great social characteristics to a team and is confident in front of stakeholders and colleagues.
Samuel Andreo
‘Genuine proffesional’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Elliot. I had the pleasure of working with Elliot at IBM in London, collaborating closely on a daily basis. I was really impressed by Elliot's ability to deal with stakeholders, colleagues and management people, with his outstanding communication skills. On the technical side, his interest and knowledge in Cybersecurity was a key factor in the project. I really miss his advices around finances and history lessons about the UK, this guy is a walking encyclopedia. As a team member, Elliot earns my highest recommendation. I have very optimistic predictions for his career trajectory in the US.
