Gary Simmonds is a VP Reporting and Analytics at IPG Mediabrands. Colleagues describe him as "Gary provides focus and insight to analytics that most people have a difficult time with. He sees clear to the other side of any project, arriving at real purpose behind the findings. He’s more than just a “numbers-guy”. The work he turns out has lasting value; his methods prove repeatable and trustworthy. His sharp skill and quick intuition made him an invaluable resource and a great manager. Without him, I really would be lost." and "Gary has excellent management skills, a keen intellect, and is highly personable. He possesses the unique talent of being able to juggle multiple tasks in a painfully high stress environment, all the while maintaining his sense of calm and equilibrium. This was a trait that his team greatly appreciated. As an analyst he possesses three qualities that are rarely found together: he has great insight into people's behavior, he has extraordinary statistical and modeling skills, and he is an excellent communicator. In short, he is able to read the numbers, find the story, and then convincingly convey it to his audience. I highly, highly recommend him for any top leadership position. He will wow you when you meet him, and you will only be more impressed after you get to know him."
