Tom is one of a kind. He has a mix of hard and soft skills that are rarely found in a single individual. First and foremost, his ability to think critically differentiates him. He’s able to analyze situations from multiple angles, providing unique insights and perspectives. Second, his attention to detail is extraordinary. I was always very confident that Tom was going to be thorough and complete when we worked together, and that confidence led to a high level of trust. His work-ethic is second to none. This is not an exaggeration. Working with Tom, I never had to worry that Tom and his team wouldn’t do their part. I also value how level-headed Tom is. Working in fast moving and sometimes high stress situations, its people like Tom that keep teams grounded, focused, and moving forward. He never seems to get rattled, and he’s able to deftly diffuse highly tense situations. Last but certainly not least, he’s just a good guy. He’s a pleasure to work with, and he was a wonderful partner for me and my team. IT leaders need strong partners to be successful, and Tom was as strong a partner as you can find.
