“One of my fondest memories of Tony, is of us talking about Program Management the using influence to effect outcomes. He explained, very articulately, the power of “woo” or the ability of a program manager to convince someone of position/point of view without situational authority. In an instance, made the role so much larger than it was – and give me more autonomy, responsibility, control, and ownership of the outcomes. Watching Tony take these same skills at Microsoft and Amazon (from afar) to build coalitions down, across and up the organization showed that he could lead irrespective of the environment he was in. Tony has always been about to pickup technology quickly, but he always contextualizes it as a tool to solve a business problem – and not its own ends. As a leader, Tony brings charm, human insight, empathy, and strong business acumen to any enterprise he is a part of.”
