That’s mostly because of the the caliber and character of its employees. During my time at Airware, Brian was the Product Manager for the mobile Flight app. For nearly my entire tenure, it was critically important that the Flight app was delivered on time because of commitments made to our largest customer. The mobile team consistently met expectations, in large part because of Brian’s efforts. Specifically: the upfront analysis of multiple technology, development & deployment options, the strength of his collaboration with the engineering team, and the thoroughness of his documentation which facilitated internal communication and customer change management. In addition, I was impressed by Brian thoughts about Airware’s organization and employees. His insights and advice were unusual for someone with his years of experience. There were multiple times when Brian gave me valuable advice concerning Airware’s organization and employees. I can trace specific actions back to Brian’s advice. I highly recommend Brian. He’ll be an asset to your organization. If possible, I’ll eagerly work with Brian again.", "It truly was a pleasure working with Brian. He is one of the most skilled product managers I have worked with. I would consider myself and my teams one of his “customers”, as such he consistently delivered what was promised on time and complete. But the greatest benefit to working with Brian was the manner in which he partnered with us. He was able to really understand our need, and work with the engineers to deliver a solution that met the need, not just what we said we wanted. He looked past what we were asking for and developed a comprehensive solution that made sense for the customer and the company. When we asked for the moon, he carefully managed us back to reality and negotiated what in reality could be delivered in the timelines we were asking. While at the same time making sure that all of those changes that occur when you are moving from theory to reality were understood and we were then able to manage our customers’ expectations and deliver. The highest praise I can give him is that we completely trusted what he told us. It may not have always been what we wanted to hear, but it always enabled us to be in the best position possible with our customers.", and "Brian is one of the most skilled and hard-working Product Managers I've worked with in my career. I had the pleasure of working closely with Brian for nearly 4 years at Airware and during that time he demonstrated an ability to consistently deliver high quality work in a dynamic and often chaotic environment. Brian is one of the few people with a talent for big-picture thinking and a keen eye for detail. At Airware, he contributed to high-level discussions about product strategy, created roadmaps, ran meetings, and did whatever else needed to be done in a way that inspired those around him to do their best work. He was an ideal partner in the product design process. He provided my team with the business context behind the new products or features we were designing, wrote solid requirements documents, provided the appropriate level of feedback during the iteration and refinement of ideas, and helped us navigate development challenges and schedule changes."
