Colleagues describe him as "I reported Gary at Arista for about first 4 years. His guidance and support helped me understand Arista culture , products and functions faster. He is a very knowledgable executive and a fine human being. Enjoyed working with him.", "I first met Gary back in 1996 when we both worked at Sun, he was leading a product development team and I was a regulatory compliance design, test, and qualification engineer assigned as part of my duties to his product. During this engagement I quickly gained appreciation for his strong team leadership abilities, how he could engage the team in active, productive, discussions on a topic for a reasonable period of time and then even if there were disagreements remaining, quickly obtain agreement on a path forward that was at least respected by all and given their full support. I learned a lot from this and have ever sense tried to emulate what I could. Over the years, as we both changed roles, we've kept in contact and have ended up either working together or working different functions within the same larger org several times... and every time, I could not have been happier with it being so. My respect is such that in one case when I learned that he and I had been competing for the same job posting and the hiring manager had thinned the applicants down to being between us, I immediately replied that offer should go to Gary and that perhaps another position would later come available that I might be considered for (which did happen a few months later and became one of the times Gary and I worked for the same VP). Two years ago, Gary convince me to join him here at Arista and I worked directly for him for the first year before transferring to a peer role within our VPs org. I can now say from personal experience that working for Gary is just as positive as working with him. Needless to say, I could not more highly recommend anyone to a hiring manager than Gary, you won't be sorry.", and "It was pleasure working for Gary. Gary is an extremely capable executive and manager. He does an excellent job of defining direction, setting aggressive yet achievable goals, defining and tracking key performance metrics, and motivating his teams to deliver. During the time I worked he was accessible, reasonable, and a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend Gary as a leader and a manager."
