Tom Gilmartin is a Barbie, NFL LA Rams, Waymo, Target, Wargaming, Scorpius Space Launch Company, SharkNinja at Gilmartin Creative Studios, LLC. Colleagues describe them as "The long list of FB/Meta-team recommendations below this one are the important ones. The glowing reports published are remarkably consistent with the anonymous feedback direct reports and peers submitted about Tom's leadership every half. Really talented people (the kind who could work for anyone) love working with and actively choose to work for Tom. They know he cares about them and their work. His attention to personal priorities and professional details help them to remain confident that he's enabling them to do the best work of their careers. The kind of contagious care Tom provides makes a world of difference for growing individuals and driving successful (and happy) teams. Because Tom and his teams perform, they're trusted to take on the most important creative and strategic work. At Creative Shop, Tom led some of the largest revenue vertical industries we had at Facebook (Global Gaming, for instance) as well as some of the most creatively innovative (automotive, entertainment). In all cases he worked seamlessly with Facebook's heads of industry to both figure out how to serve those clients needs for brand marketing and the need for cutting edge creativity. In that way he helped to both grow businesses and brands. Beyond the day job and his core team, Tom always sought to impact the larger Creative Shop organization (300+ people in 30 cities) by acting to implement our work/life balance program (called "Fuel") and by planning global team retreats that welcomed diverse teammates from around the world to come together. These extra credit tasks did little for Tom's official reviews but they paid off in building bonds among a globally disparate team that needed to thrive on digital collaboration. And, while many folks have DEI on their LinkedIn, Tom is a person who always sought to under promise and over deliver. His partnership with the Native@ team was deeply impactful and always executed with no self-promotion. Tom is a great human, a ride-or-die partner and a person who knows how to harness the power of creativity + technology together to transform brands and businesses. He'll be an incredible asset to anyone lucky enough to hire him." and "Tom was my former Manager and Global Creative Director at Creative Ship, Meta/Facebook. I had the pleasure of working with Tom for four incredible years, and I must say, he is undeniably the kindest, most patient, and generous person I've had the pleasure of working with. However, what truly sets him apart is his unparalleled work ethic and dedication. Throughout my time working under Tom's leadership, he consistently went above and beyond to support me. His belief in my abilities and unwavering trust allowed me to flourish both personally and professionally. Tom's guidance and mentorship were instrumental in shaping my own managerial approach and design leadership, and I owe a great deal of my growth to his invaluable insights and advice. Beyond his exceptional leadership qualities, Tom was a trailblazer in the industry. Leading seven client industry verticals and heading global strategy, he consistently inspired his team to conceptualize and build award-winning campaigns in an unpredictable and evolving environment. His creativity and strategic prowess were unmatched, and his ability to bring out the best in everyone including our team of creative strategists across multiple global cities was truly remarkable. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Tom's commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion within the company was exemplary. He spearheaded numerous initiatives and internal efforts to promote a culture of inclusivity. Furthermore, he was an expert at conveying the importance of work-life balance, encouraging his team to take time away from their computers and recharge. His high leadership approval rating is a testament to his ability to inspire and uplift those around him. Even after my tenure at Meta/Facebook, Tom has remained a dear friend and collaborator. He continues to offer guidance, kind words, and unwavering support. His dedication to my professional growth and well-being extends far beyond the workplace, making him a truly exceptional individual. In conclusion, Tom Gilmartin is an extraordinary leader, mentor, and friend. His kindness, patience, and generosity are unparalleled, he is an exemplary figure in the industry. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have worked with him and to continue collaborating with him today."
