Board and Investor Recommendation

"I was privileged to be able to recruit Tom to be CEO of two portfolio companies of our firm at which I served as a board member, GoRemote and Clarity. At GoRemote, Tom inherited difficult circumstances not of his making and was able to create an exit in about 18 months at a valuation well in excess of investor expectations. In that relatively short time, he repositioned the business into more exciting and valuable market segments that created strategic buyer interest. Based on his success there and at his subsequent leadership positions, I enthusiastically recruited him to Clarity. There, he executed a successful pivot of the business which increased both the quality and quantity of revenue and significantly increased the value of the enterprise on his watch. Tom has an excellent (and passionate) strategic understanding of future digital trends. I would recommend Tom to be CEO or a senior executive of any company or organization seeking a strategic transformation into new and/or growing markets."
