While the roles Geoff held at eBay were pretty different, Geoff always demonstrated great drive for innovation, built strong teams of people of diverse backgrounds and was able to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization. Geoff is strong at building work relationships both internally and externally, and I particularly appreciated the empowerment and trust given to me and others as members of his team. Geoff is not afraid of taking risks and getting into unknown waters, and he is keen on learning about new technologies fast. Overall a great leader for starting something new and building / further developing teams."
