“Working with Thomas was always a joy. Not only is he an exceptional CFO, he is a highly effective teacher. Excellent CFO's not only are superb with the numbers, but are also very strategic thinkers. Thomas excels in both respects. He has the innate ability to teach others in a way which is easy to understand and remember. There were a number of times when I did not follow how the numbers were derived, yet Thomas was always available to sit with me and others to get us to conceptually understand the calculation. He loves to teach others and is always so patient. I have listened to many of his presentations and they are well organized and articulated. He actually makes it "fun" to listen to finance! Another attribute which I always appreciated is his compassionate for others. He enjoys seeing others succeed and is always there to assist you succeed. Thomas understands that an individuals success is also the organizations success. You will not find a harder working person. Thomas is a wonderful ambassador for the organization yet is appropriately transparent when things are not perfect. And as importantly, he always takes ownership and accountability for his work and the work of his team. Any organization would be well served by having Thomas on their senior leadership team. ”
