Nick and I worked together at Kobo for 7 years where we both started as developers and worked to Managers. I have worked closely with Nick through many projects over the years. I have always been very impressed by the dedication and thoroughness with which Nick approaches his work and the results he achieves. Managers in Kobo wear many hats, covering People Management, Project Management, and Process Management to name a few. In each of these areas I have seen Nick take on significant challenges and return impressive results. Nick acts as a People Manager to around 20 Engineers. A number which demands a lot of time and focus. I have seen Nick cultivate meaningful relationships with each report through regular 1/1’s and coaching. An impressive feat given the time demands on his role. Nick finds time to sit and coach developers on their skills, this helps him understand where the developers are struggling and where they need to grow. I know, from speaking with his reports, that he has earned their respect. Nick is a manager who will have a large impact. Nick is driven to improve, and has a clear vision for how to accomplish that improvement, even if the end state isn’t clear. Nick's drive to improve is his strongest quality and has had a marked impact in Kobo. An example of this is his founding of a Tech University program that gave engineers a platform to disperse knowledge and grow their presentation skills. This program later grew, under Nicks stewardship, to be a company-wide platform and a huge success. A further example of Nick’s proactive drive to improve are the experiments run with smaller more focused development teams. Never happy with the status quo, Nick analysed our current process and sought to address its shortcomings. What followed was a significant change in how his teams operated with a marked improvement in moral, throughput, and engagement. The change, once deemed successful, was then presented and shared with the department. Nick always maintains a friendly, approachable, and professional demeanor. When dealing with high pressure situations he applies a methodical, pragmatic approach to remain in control and always communicates clearly and frequently to stakeholders and reports. Often times in my own work, I face challenges from which I can not see a clear path. In those times Nick is my go to for advice. I have often sat with him and presented the challenge I face, and Nick always takes the same approach. He stops what he is doing, thinks deeply on the problem, and in time presents his well thought out opinion and recommendation. I have learned a lot watching and working with Nick. In summary, I highly recommend Nick, as I know whatever the position he applies for, he will excel at, and quickly have a lasting and positive impact on your company. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss this further."
