Bio
Alison MacNeil
Gylfi commands a deep respect from his fellow employees (and his friends), mainly due to his integrity, his loyalty and his ability to rationally express his opinions, which are always well considered and thought out. He is a natural leader, capable of sensing the mood within an organization and ready to help to improve morale. I know that many of his co-workers look to him for advice and support, just as I have frequently done in the past. Gylfi is an exceedingly hard working individual. When he takes on a job, he takes it on with full effort and derives a high amount of satisfaction from doing it well. I have witnessed this not only in his work at gogoyoko, but also in his involvement in musical projects and in his other work before gogoyoko. This trait is made all the more valuable because he also has such a wide-ranging set of skills, which means that I never hesitated to include him in a project, particularly if I needed it to be brought back on track or under budget. It would be no exaggeration to say that he often does the work of several people.
