During the project, Gareth was a person that combine technical knowledge with business expertise. He is a great team member that facilitates communication and helped me understand business requirements. I truly recommend Gareth not only for a business position but also as a mentor." and "I've had the professional satisfaction of working alongside and for Gareth as part of his architecture team in the Mobile Money Centre of Excellence in Vodafone for the past 18 months. Without doubt, Gareth's knowledge of mobile payments, telecommunications and mobile technologies generally is exceptional. He readily applies this knowledge to a range of programme level issues and roadmap topics that have helped to drive the Vodafone offering to be best in market. Concurrently, he has achieved this objective whilst maintaining a growing and geographically dispersed team of individuals including Analysts, Architects and Consultants - not to mention a range of global vendors - and ensured this team can deal with a number of issues in existing or future markets. His management style toward his team and colleagues in the markets and elsewhere is one of professionalism and pragmatism, listening closely to the issues at hand and yet giving his team sufficient autonomy to ensure they can drive forward the Vodafone roadmap in a range of areas without continual intervention. Gareth brings a great deal of energy and commitment to the role and this has an influence upon the team and all those who work with him on a regular basis. His pragmatic leadership and management style ensures a productive working environment where even the most difficult issues can find a resolution. I would be happy to recommend Gareth to any prospective organisation or team looking to evolve their understanding of mobile payments and its successful delivery within large organisations. "
