Elliot is smart, personable, and one of the most interesting people I know. I regret that our paths do not cross more. In his leadership position at Canonical, he was consistently able to focus on what was important, ignore that which wasn't. Where others might ignore or waffle around a difficult issue, Elliot would speak—respectfully, constructively, humbly—directly to it. Many other recommendations attest to his ability to handle the big picture while having an enviable grasp of technical details, backed by his commitment to keeping his hands dirty—this is absolutely true. As a manager, Elliot created a space where many, many people under him were able to shine, because they were encouraged, mentored, given focus and support, and had encumbrances removed. What more could you want?", and "Elliot is a good manager, able to understand projects from 1000 ft to subtle technical details. He joined the company when the product, a complex Rails app, was close to its alpha launch. He learned quickly all about the current status, technology stack, challenges and solution. I was impressed with the short timeframe in which he got up to speed and started contributing code. He was also an efficient link between the stakeholders and the development team."
