Bio

Neil truly cares and is a very supportive boss. Neil appreciates hard work and always check in to ensure I'm doing well. I am fortunate to have such a trusting leader who looks out for me, value my contributions at work and always ready to back me up. A very understanding boss who constantly reminds me to also take care of myself as I look after others. I didn’t have to make known every little detail of my efforts at work and he just knows. He is very appreciative of what I do, believes in my decisions and that I always give my best. Above all, he wants me to do well and be happy. I am definitely blessed to have Neil build me up in my career.

Neil is incredibly talented, creative and hard-working. I had the wonderful opportunity of having him as my boss at Edelman. I learned a lot from working with Neil these past 1.5 years because, aside from always coming up with great ideas and solutions, he’s never afraid to have fun with it. You can always count on him to explore bold and impactful ideas. He cares a lot about his work, which motivates our team and I to put our best foot forward even in the toughest of times. It’s very enjoyable to work with Neil because he is light-hearted, communicative, encouraging and understanding. When working on projects together, he always leads our team in a good direction and values our ideas and perspectives. I would love to work with him again in the future. Bonus points for always making our team and I laugh during some of the most stressful times at work :)
