He would always allow me the autonomy to execute my job without micro-managing me and my direct reports. He built a culture of trust by leading from the front when needed and stepping back when he felt the team was ready to move forward on any daily activities or high-profile projects. Tom always recognized when his team was putting in extra hours for large projects and would roll up his sleeves to help out and made sure that his staff would get the necessary down-time so that they wouldn't get burnt out. Tom is a top-tier professional and a thoughtful leader; I can't say enough about his ability to model integrity for his team and the organization we worked for together. Please feel free to reach out to me should ever want to discuss Tom's character or leadership capabilities to drive strategic direction."
