Even though we worked in different groups, I had the chance to collaborate with Dinn and his team on several projects. And ever since, Dinn has become my go-to person whenever I need advice about all things digital. Even now when we are no longer working together, Dinn is always nice enough to give me digital-related advice whenever needed. He has a very broad knowledge of the matter, and whenever we had to launch a project, his ability to see things from different perspectives was crucial in making the project a success.

I have a long working history with this magnificent man. I handled the creative visuals and he lead the digital strategy and project management for BlackBerry, Flash Mobile, Alcatel Mobile and TCL Electronics. These projects were a success; more than the target expectations. He is very focus, smart and his problem solving skills are uncanny. He is a man of great vision, strategically looking at every project outside the box and give life to everything that he touches. If there is one man i would like to work with in the future it will be Dinn, without a doubt someone who can create something out of nothing.
