Colleagues describe him as "Drew is one of the best technology recruiters in Denver, if not the entire country. He's worked with just about every exciting company in the Front Range, and always provides top notch opportunities. I trust his insight and expertise to place the right candidates in the right roles.", "Drew's work as a sales manager for me was great. He was moved in from another branch to take over a sales team that was not just failing, it had failed. It had been mismanaged by the previous owner and the branch had been strip mined of talent in order to feed other branches in the region.
Drew came in to a team one third the size of other teams and with an average tenure per head of around 4 months. He worked tirelessly to shape this team up into a competitive and functional group and he did exactly that. He earned his stripes by not getting hung up on the "manager" title and showing his people how to do things from the field.
His numbers slowly improved, and that margin created not only more revenue for our branch, but also generated some new leaders to help the rest of the struggling market grow. Time and time again the cards fell against Drew, but he worked without rest and refused to succumb to the idea that his contribution to the branch should be less than other sales managers with larger, fully-ramped teams. He always worked hard and always expected the same from those around him, both above and below.
Drew has my respect for how he dealt with that situation; in particular, the intangible elements that make for a healthier branch like not complaining or making excuses and showing class in the face of a total lack thereof.", and "MY company used Drew to help setup our voice and data when we moved into a new office. He always delivered on time and exactly what he said he would do. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone."
