Colleagues describe him as "Drew was a top notch recruiting partner! I have never been more aligned! Drew and I worked together to grow the Platform team for Chronosphere, which is all the teams that support the user-facing product features and underlying services (ie UI, CLI, API, etc). In the span of a year and a half, Drew helped grow the Platform team from ~10 engineers to ~50 engineers! Scaling the team so quickly was challenging; we needed to grow the business and culture in the right way with the right hires. This meant securing top notch eng talent - candidates that were technical eng leaders in observability with strong team/people skills. Drew maintained alignment and transparency throughout the process - setting up realistic goals and expectations and building a process and pipeline from scratch. Personally, my favorite accomplishment in growing the Platform team was significantly improving the DEI numbers. Drew was an integral part in growing our diversity of the Platform team - we brainstormed different initiatives, approaches, and discussed fairness/equity at every step. We kept fairness and equity top of mind, from sourcing to onsight to deliberation and through to offer! I am very proud of our work and partnership.", "Drew was incredibly professional and enthusiastic in trying to lure me to Snap Inc - I highly recommend him as a professional and enthusiastic recruiter!", and "Drew approaches his work with the same drive and gusto he does his other passions. He’s a naturally motivated, charismatic individual that was a true joy to work with. His was a key player at BravoTECH; placing several “hard to find” candidates that directly contributed to BravoTECH’s bottom line. His internal motivation and dedication to his craft are evident. I would enjoy working with him again in the future."
