Lead  Data Engineer @ Thrive Global

I worked under Tim for two and a half years. I can confidently say that he is a technically savvy data leader. He is an invaluable asset to any team and organization. As a manager and leader, he combines extensive technical knowledge with compassion and support for his team. He played a pivotal role in the creation and leadership of a highly skilled team that was tasked with building Thrive's data analytics platform from the ground up. Through his expertise and guidance, the team was able to develop a powerful platform that enabled Thrive to make data-driven decisions and gain valuable insights into their business operations. 

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside Tim for over 2 years and count myself so incredibly lucky to be able to learn from him. Tim is a data leader with deep knowledge in a variety of fields from ML or customer insights. Aside from his comprehensive technical skills, I admire Tim's ability to be sincere and direct, to relentlessly prioritize, and put the needs of others above his own. Throughout his time at Thrive, Tim has fostered collaboration and mentorship, driving continuous improvement and empowering teams to deliver exceptional results. I am so privileged to work alongside Tim and consider myself a better professional as a result of it.
