Tim is an exceptionally empathetic, kind, and thoughtful leader. Across the two years that we worked together, he led us with a calm presence and always demonstrated a genuine care for the well-being of his people. Not to mention, he differentiates himself as a thought leader in the space with an equally genuine passion for financial technology and the data space. (He has an incredible amount of knowledge on both topics! Make sure to have him speak on your panels and webinars.) He’s never afraid of rolling up his sleeves and doing what it takes to help the team succeed - and when it is time to roll up sleeves, he brings an infallible positivity to the challenge.

Tim Gaumer

Tim was my manager for 2-1/2 years. I can say that during that time, I never saw Tim rattled by anything – presentations, TV appearances, job pressures – always cool under pressure and a great thought leader. Also consistent was Tim’s optimism. That is a great characteristic for someone heading an innovation team. With innovation, not everything one tries necessarily works out as hoped. Tim kept the team looking ahead and our eyes on the big picture. In establishing the Refinitiv Labs, Tim’s industry experience and first-hand knowledge of our customers’ challenges focused teams on practical solutions. He wisely chose to embed subject matter experts alongside data scientists, software engineers, quant researchers and user experience experts – creating many synergistic benefits.

Leon Saunders Calvert

In the years Tim and I worked together at Thomson Reuters and Refinitiv he established an internal and external brand for himself that was synonymous with innovation in the financial markets and data space. Tim is a creative thinker, challenging standard methods of data collection, normalisation and distribution, and is at the forefront of how to think about the benefits of what technology can do and what its limitations are today in support of the transformation and digitization of market data tools. Critically, Tim helped establish a culture and set of processes for what innovation looks like within the company, such that it can be institutionalised - allowing for sandboxing, failing fast, quick POC's, and ultimately productisation of what works. I look forward to working with Tim in the industry and will continue to try to take advantage of his thought leadership.
