“I’ve worked with some incredible leaders in my career but, in the two years that I worked for and with Jeremy I learned that he was not only one of the best strategic minds in IT, but also one of the most influential and kind. His ability to inspire trust through clear and constant feedback gave me and my team the confidence to execute and understand where our trade-offs were at any given time. From day one of my tenure at the Gates Foundation I understood my priorities and what they meant to our internal customers. Jeremy and I would talk daily about where we were on our roadmaps and the resources needed to succeed. There are three things that stand out to me about Jeremy as a leader; His strategic mind and use of frameworks to gain alignment; his ability to influence other senior leaders around subjects that drive meaningful, positive change and; his sense of calm, humor and integrity. To me a senior leader with these attributes is critical especially in an organization that is looking to transform the world through catalytic capabilities. Whether it was Jeremy’s Digital Transformation strategy to move from a fragmented, expensive and outdated, on-prem data solution to an optimized, governed and monitored Cloud Platform or the delivery of trusted Business Intelligence to C-level execs, or a mature delivery service … the key was a clearly articulated and mapped strategy. I am pleased to say that, because of the continuous communication of the strategy, our team was able to deliver all of the above on time AND on budget. This turnaround of the team would not have been possible otherwise and every leader benefited. Finally, I have to say that it was more than a pleasure working for Jeremy as he was always kind, funny and considerate. There was a lot of stress at the Foundation and his sense of humor and easy manner really helped us keep smiling while we built and delivered so much value for our customers, and this is what made the experience of working for and with Jeremy exceptional. I would work for him again in a heartbeat!”
