Colleagues describe him as "Raf accomplished two things that truly set him apart from other leaders: Launching a Major Product - Raf spearheaded the creation and launch of New Relic Synthetics from the ground up. His ability to define the MVP, engage early customers, and deliver a successful product was remarkable. Scaling with Excellence - Raf didn't stop at launch. He scaled the product to tens of millions in ARR by relentlessly improving and evolving it. Beyond the product itself, Raf built New Relic's Phoenix office from scratch, personally hiring and leading a team that reflected his high standards for talent and culture. As a people leader, Raf inspired confidence, trust, and exceptional performance. If you're looking for someone who can lead a new product with a rare combination of product, engineering, and leadership expertise, I couldn't recommend Raf more highly." and "Raf was my Engineering counterpart for 4 years at New Relic. During that time, he was an exceptional partner to Product as well as an exceptional leader to his team. Communication between Raf and I was frank, continuous, and filled with trust for one another’s expertise. There were countless times that Raf helped me unearth technical options and constraints to ensure that prioritization decisions were well informed. However, the thing I ultimately respect most about him was the way he led his team. Raf has a talent for recognizing exceptional engineers and building a culture in which ideas are passionately debated for the betterment of the product. He insists on accountability and top performance from team members, but does it with heart, so that he is always leading from a place of respect and encouragement. Without a doubt, Raf would be my first call if I were told to pick an engineering leader to work with."
