Gavin is a silky smooth, cool as a cucumber PM. I'd happily saddle up with you again in the future. Good luck at DAN/Merkle. The role looks perfect for you...

I was lucky enough to work with Gavin on the CPA Australia website project, delivering new platforms and experiences, and designing new ways of working. And that opportunity to work with him has raised the bar for me on any future expectations I will have when working with a project or program director or digital experience professional. Not only is he an outcome orientated problem solver and runs projects and initiatives incredibly effectively and efficiency but the joy of working with Gavin is in his inclusive and authenticate approach. He is a natural people leader and his engagement with others is both considered and candid. Which is a rare and valuable skillset. This engenders trust, respect and high levels of confidence in what he does, how he does it and who he works with. In summary, Gavin is the epitome of excellence in his field and I learnt a lot from him along the way.
