Recommendations

I worked with Gareth as a peer and trusted partner for 10 years. During that time, Gareth demonstrated an impressive range of competences as a program manager, facilitator, people manager, product owner, strategist, and problem solver. Gareth’s leadership, level-headedness, and ability to communicate clearly helped him navigate all sorts of challenges and organizational change, while consistently helping teams deliver results.

Gareth is also exceedingly kind and inclusive – the kind of guy who helps create great culture on a team. While we worked together on a number of different initiatives over the years – sales process, data transformation, organizational design, and others – it’s the trust and collaboration with Gareth that I remember and appreciate most. I’m confident that Gareth would be a highly valued member of any team.

Most recently, Gareth and I collaborated on a large-scale data transformation program touching hundreds of thousands of records, hundreds of business applications, and dozens of stakeholders and business groups. Gareth helped organize and mobilize teams required to design and install operational processes and metrics, as well as execute data cleanup and alignment across multiple business applications. Gareth was a champion of data quality and governance, data simplification, and automation. Gareth's common sense approach and disciplined program management, as well as his ability to influence stakeholders and leadership, were essential to the success of the program.

Director – Data Management

I worked closely with Gareth in Intel’s Sales Excellence organization when he was the Director of Sales CRM & Analytics and I was the Director of Change Management.

Gareth innately understands the people impact that change brings and championed a customer/user-centric mindset amongst his team members and peers, making him a valuable partner to my team’s work.

He is also a natural mentor, always investing in the growth and development of those around him, and has strong experience building and leading successful cross-functional teams across geographies.
