I worked closely with Leon for over 2 years at AuctionsPlus. He brought a tremendous amount of talent to the team, not only because he has a broad skill-set, but because he has a passion for making things work. During our time there, he was pivotal in helping me to build a team and to introduce product development processes. I would not have achieved the level of success we did without him there.
