Testimonials

"I had the distinct pleasure of engaging with Tom while I was with Cognizant, serving as the Global VP, Digital Transformation. In my capacity as a member of the Digital Business Executive leadership team, I was quite satisfied with my position with no reason for a career change until I met Tom. His presentation layer and approach, coupled with the visionary aspect of the new opportunity, was exceptional. Tom was able to articulate Accenture's vision and merge those into personal goals and aspirations. He maintained reliable communication throughout the process, and I can happily say this was the best decision for myself and my family."

"Tom's email was perhaps one of the best I have received in my professional career. I was employed with Genpact at the time, serving as their Global Vice President of Sales, High Tech, and I can say with high confidence, I was not seeking employment outside of Genpact. I was reluctant to consider looking at a larger organization, and I was more cautious about other consulting opportunities. I was adamant about my goals, titles, and responsibilities, and I did not want to accept anything less. I cautiously accepted his calls, and during many discussions, I began to feel like he genuinely cared about me as a person. He was mindful that I was not seeking a job but rather a meaningful and passionate career. My overall experience was that Tom takes his responsibilities seriously and blends compassion into every search. Looking back, I can honestly say that what he shared about Accenture and what I could achieve was possible. Today I have taken several promotions, and without Tom’s coaching and advisory skills, I would not be in the position I am today."
