In this role and others at Arowana, Tom demonstrated an exceptional ability to shift his perspective from the trees to the forest and back at will and he has developed the intuition to know which perspective is appropriate in any given circumstance. This strategic and tactical thinking mix makes Tom an ideal candidate for senior leadership roles where, even under extreme pressure, he has the capacity to think clearly, rationally and creatively to formulate optimal solutions. Tom’s commitment to value creation in a scaling-up context is evident in his work. His long-term mindset and his commitment to building and growing strong, sustainable businesses have had a positive impact on economies, industries, and the people they employ.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tom for any endeavour he chooses to pursue. His dedication, knowledge, and intuition are sure to bring success."
