        Alex has grown into a strong leader who expanded his scope broadly within the Qubole organization and drove positive business impact.  He has been a great partner with my support team by building relevant education content which we could share with customers and even deliver a troubleshooting course to help drive customers toward self-service.  Throughout our collaboration, he has always brought a customer-first mentality toward the role and ensured he built services and programs which would drive customer value which ultimately helps the company succeed.

He also led a few key initiatives around partner and key customer-specific education portals which helped drive adoption of our content which ultimately empowers the users of our product to gain value.  Along with this, he created a badging program to provide further incentives for users and partners to gain knowledge in the product and platform - again to drive further adoption.

From his original focus on customer education, he took over internal leadership education and customer technical publications with positive results in both areas.  Firstly, gathering the company's leaders and bringing thoughtful topics to the forefront helped drive further collaboration and alignment across teams.  Secondly, the technical publications team had a stronger voice with process and content with our product due to Alex's influence and process-focus.

Alex is personable and always willing to help.  I would definitely like to work with him again in a future role or company. Patrick Daly
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        When I joined Qubole as the first writer hired in the US, Alex was my opposite number in education. I was astonished at how much high-quality material he'd managed to produce in the few months he'd been there. My respect and admiration only grew when I attended some of his courses and could see and hear for myself how thoroughly he grasped the complex information we need to convey, and how well he taught it, breaking concepts down into digestible chunks, and making sure we all thoroughly understood each one before moving on. This caliber of teaching is the product of empathy and energy as well as intellectual strength, and Alex possesses all three qualities to a remarkable degree.

Recently, Alex became my manager, and promptly figured out how I could best serve the company while doing precisely those things that I enjoy most and do best. Looking back over a long career in this industry, I can't think of time when I've been more productive or had more fun than in the past few months.

I would work for Alex again at any time, in any capacity; or, if I were in a position to hire him, I would fall over myself to do so.
