Bio
James Grady
I have worked with Tom for nearly 10 years. During this time I have seen him excel as an individual contributor and also as a manager of people. As an individual contributor, he is a seasoned engineer and project lead. He approaches challenges with a fact based analytical approach. Tom never shy’s away from difficult situations, he instead takes them head on. He has spent years as a customer facing technical expert for the largest customers. As a manager, Tom excels at bringing in young engineers and technical staff and mentoring them to prepare them to be successful members of the team. Through regular touch-points with his staff, he was able to keep watch over the work of the team and jump in to help address challenges before they become problems. Tom would be a valued member of a technical team either as an individual contributor or as a manager of people.
