I have worked closely with Dru for almost two years at Bezos Academy where he held the position of the Texas District School Leader. During this time, Dru demonstrated to be an exemplary leader and role model to his team. He is conscientious, resilient, innovative, and a great motivator. His leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills would be a great asset to any organization. Additionally, Dru is highly dedicated to his work and the mission of advocating for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging practices in education. Dru is very personable, and it has been a privilege to work under his direction. I am confident that his skills would be a great addition to any team. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please contact me at marthabriseno.mb@gmail.com. I would be happy to provide additional information or answer any questions. Sincerely, Martha M. Briseno, EdD, LBSW" and "Dru is an incredible thought leader and champion of “right” in every environment he’s placed in. He is absolutely a visionary, transformational leader. I had the pleasure of serving alongside Dru as we ventured to establish new Montessori-inspired preschools serving families in under resourced communities, with the backing of a very monied, powerful nonprofit. Merging the worlds of education and cutting edge, tech-driven innovation, particularly when serving economically disenfranchised people and communities, requires those doing the work to keep their ears attuned to the ways that big ideas affect people on the ground and Dru was excellent at that, for both families and the school leaders and teachers that reported to him. He always demonstrated the utmost confidence in his team and allowed them to lean into their gifts, and is a fantastic coach. He was also just a great person to work with, which is just as important day to day. I’d highly recommend Dru for almost anything!"
