Colleagues describe him as "I've had the good fortune to work with Bruce for many years, reporting directly to him at times. Bruce takes a thoughtful and engaged approach to the projects he works on, and his insights into corporate and organizational strategy have been very valuable to me. As a leader, I've seen him bring a number of complex, highly-visible projects to fruition. As a manager and a mentor, he's championed my accomplishments and helped me become a better engineer, and I've watched him help several first-time managers grow into their roles and be successful. He's a great guy to work with and he's become a friend, and I'd work with him again, anytime." and "Having reported directly to Bruce for almost 3 years I can fairly say he was by far one the best managers I have worked with. His management style involves providing appropriate guidance and then getting out of the way of the engineers so they can do the work without being micromanaged. While setting schedules and goals for our projects Bruce's ability to discern between realistic - but stretch goals - from completely unrealistic ones was invaluable in the various projects I worked with him. Things I only realized after we had completed 2-3 major projects. His vast experience managing large groups of engineers certainly played a role in that. Bruce also displayed a remarkable amount of in depth knowledge about the product we were working on. This coupled with his effectiveness as a manager (evidenced by the fact that all the projects I worked with Bruce on were completed in a reasonable amount of time and with high quality) made Bruce a great manager. Also, unlike many engineering managers, Bruce really understands the value of maintaining a healthy codebase. For engineers this is a key quality in a manager. He was always supportive of various refactoring projects and similar efforts to keep our codebase up to date and healthy. He was not afraid of changing technology and would encourage us to explore newer ways of doing things. Bruce was also a great mentor for me and many other young engineers. He was able to provide us with appropriate and actionable feedback when needed and would highlight our accomplishments to senior management during our regular performance reviews. His humble demeanor along with his sense of humor made him a delight to work with. To me Bruce's best quality is that he understands engineers very well. His management style and everything else flows from that."

Listed skills include Management, Software Development, Agile Methodologies, Leadership, and 22 others.
