Donna Jones
If I had to use one word to describe Wayne Evans, it would be DYNAMIC. I met Wayne in 2018 at a company training event where we were tasked with building our brand and learning to be comfortable speaking to our strengths and abilities. I felt like I had no business being there, but then I was absolutely in awe. This incredibly intelligent, confident, accomplished human spoke to me as though I were a respected peer, and he immediately made me feel welcome and as though I belonged. While he and our other colleagues made a lasting impression on me, I never thought I'd find myself working for (and to hear him tell it, with) him just a few short years later. What an amazing ride it's been! He brought me in because of what he could see in me, and he's been not only an amazing boss, but also a treasured collaborator and friend. I've learned so much in my time working with him, and his quest for process improvement and streamlining has fed my own pursuit of the same. I've learned things working with him that I never would have imagined I'd be capable of, and he's the first one to celebrate my successes and has the leadership skills to navigate through uncertainties. Our team is the most cohesive and productive team I've ever worked with, and without a doubt it is only that way because we have Wayne at the helm. Any organization would be extremely fortunate to have him; he's an asset that will be hard to replace as he's valued beyond measure. His technical skills are expansive, and his people skills are unsurpassed. Dynamic...that's Wayne Evans.

Wayne is an exceptional leader who deeply values the performance and well-being of his team members. His ability to foster an environment where every individual can excel is commendable. Wayne's genuine interest in his team's personal and professional development is apparent in every interaction. One of Wayne's standout qualities is his innate understanding of the connection between team morale and performance. He recognizes that a team that feels valued and supported is more likely to deliver outstanding results. Wayne takes the time to actively engage with each team member, not only discussing work-related matters but also showing a sincere concern for their overall happiness and growth. This has a positive impact on team dynamics, leading to higher motivation and productivity. Wayne's commitment to continuous improvement is evident in the way he encourages his team to learn and develop new skills. He provides opportunities for skill-building, whether through training sessions, mentorship, or challenging assignments. This investment in his team's growth not only enhances individual capabilities but also contributes to the overall strength of the team.
