Inspiring others, always improving working environment, carefully planning and supporting his co workers. Setting priorities and day to day goals is what made Makeable a successful company. Having great sense for good business moves and perception what to expect in future. He is role model of how good idea, hard work and setting goals can make you successful in everything you do, and I would recommend every company to have one Austen in it." and "A lot of people have bosses, but a few have a true leader- which is exactly how I would describe Austen. He recognized potential in all of his employees, and motivated us to reach our full potential. Having him as a mentor made me feel empowered to grow into the roles I was given. Under his guidance, I started viewing my job as a career. His entrepreneurial spirit helped us all see the big picture, while focusing on daily tasks. As Warren Bennis would say: "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." Austen did exactly that- made his vision of an on-demand manufacturing marketplace into Makeable- a company that now has over 70 employees."
