Tim has a unique skill to bring out the best in people. Whether its his team, client partners or vendors, he has the ability to push our abilities to the limits. Challenging us to be creative and innovative in the way we look for solutions, allowed us to be cost effective and drive the most value for every ounce of effort put forward. Definitely a fresh perspective to conventional banking! Tim’s support and guidance, while giving you autonomy on how you work, always gave the team confidence to learn and try new concepts and ideas. Working with him was definitely a unique and amazing experience.

Azfar K

Chief Cloud Officer

I have had the pleasure of working closely as a vendor with Tim. Tim is a highly knowledgeable expert in technology, that focuses on the business value that technology can bring. Tim values his business relationships and treats them as partners, as a result he is able stay informed and up to date, on trends in his business and the impact they may have. As a vendor and partner I wish that more people regarded their vendors as valuable resources, such as Tim does as second nature. It has, and continues to be a pleasure working with him.
