Bio
Luis Guillermo Cardona
I've had the pleasure to know Thomas for about 7 years, and I don't think that there is anyone else like him on the planet. He is both an incredible contributor that strives for greatness (with the intelligence to match), and a person that makes work a fun experience. He always brings his passion to all of the things that he does, which is important when the things that you are working on aren't going according to plan. Having known him both professionally and personally, anyone who has the opportunity to work with him should consider themselves lucky.

I have worked with Thomas in different capacities for the last 5 years and it has been a pleasure working with him. Thomas has a rare combination of skills that enable him to be very effective in a technology organization. Thomas has very strong interpersonal skills that make others around him feel included and comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions, which results in high levels of collaboration. Additionally, Thomas has the ability to quickly understand complex technical topics and systems and communicate those highly complex topics in a strategic way that resonates with leadership. Finally, Thomas has strong execution skills. I have worked with Thomas on many programs that would not have been nearly as successful without his contribution. Overall, Thomas is an amazing person to work with and I feel lucky to have have the opportunity to work with him on many different programs together at Nielsen.
