Colleagues describe him as "I've had the unique pleasure of working very closely with Dan while he managed the Consumer Services product group at Graphiq. Dan is an excellent leader, strategist, and a true team player. As a direct report of Dan, I always felt he had my back in the company. He cares deeply about his teammates and shows empathy and offers feedback towards my personal career development. As the director of Consumer Products managing ~30 PMs, he spent a lot of time developing managers, business strategies, and cross-functional group collaborations. His efforts to improve core competencies and reduce inefficiencies led to the largest traffic and revenue generating business units at the company. Beyond his competency, I also enjoyed witnessing first hand Dan's resilience, motivation, and mental toughness. He championed the company's vision and inspired many to put their 110% effort. In short, Dan is a highly result-driven entrepreneur. I'm confident he will be successful in anything he puts his mind to.", "Dan Tobin has been my esteemed colleague for 5 years. I've collaborated with him having leadership positions in many different roles, including product, sales, and business development. Dan's multi-faceted background has allowed him to develop a great sense of empathy when it comes to driving BD discussions. He can focus on financial metrics and analytics when appealing to the business side, but also knows when to drop the suit and focus the conversation on product. In my capacity as an engineering leader, I've been involved in a lot of business development meetings. I've found many of these conversations to become very convoluted, often missing the much simpler big picture. In engineering, we try to avoid unnecessary complexity at all costs, so this approach to BD felt counter-intuitive. This is why I've always been impressed with Dan's ability to run a meeting targeted to engineering and product executives, and effectively delivering the appropriate message. Aside from his vast repertoire of professional skills, Dan is by and large one of the most dedicated team players I've ever worked with. Whether it involves standing in front of the company and driving positivity during tough times, or sacrificing his own resources to support a larger opportunity, Dan is always the first one to raise his hand. In summary, Mr. Tobin is a cross-functional leader who has driven extraordinary results in many capacities, a reliable team player, and a trusted friend. I would jump at the opportunity to collaborate with Dan in the future and strongly encourage anyone in this position to proceed confidently.", and "Dan was instrumental in my development as a product manager at FindTheBest. He has a knack for giving his team projects that are larger than they think they can handle, and weighs the balance perfectly between giving them the freedom and direction needed to surpass what even they thought they were capable of. A natural leader, Dan has been at the forefront of some of the largest and most exciting initiatives at FindTheBest. He knows how to build great product, source and create lasting partnerships, hire/train/develop high-performing employees, and is the first to get down to do the dirty work when times get tough. I am extremely grateful for the time I had and growth I received working with Dan, and I would gladly work with him again in the future."
