Ian Strickman is a Engineering Leader at Google. Colleagues describe him as "Ian is a remarkable leader, he strikes a good balance between empathy and pragmatism. He’s always putting a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring the business and team are in alignment. He’s mindful of burnout and regularly curbed our team's anxiety, even pushing back when on the business appropriate. This being said, we worked in a hyper-growth startup where every deadline was competitive. Ian is one of those few people that flourish in those high-pressure environments, as a team we hit the majority of our goals and made a significant impact in our domain. It would be an injustice not to mention Ian’s technical ability, he is an ex-engineer for many years and it shows in his leadership. He has a good eye for coupling and a great mind for system-level thinking. Ian was always a wonderful resource to bounce architecture ideas off us. I recommend Ian without any reservation."
