Michael Havas, hired Thomas as a Consultant in 2008 more than once

“I have worked with Thomas on a massive IT and business transformation program at an Australian Telco, where he was responsible for the client's portal implementation. We were working together from the early contract negotiations through to build and deploy phase. Thomas constantly impressed me with his domain expertise, his strong ability of strategic thinking and his extensive business knowledge. Furthermore Thomas built strong relationships to both - the client and his peers in Australia. I enjoyed working with Tom a lot and can highly recommend him as a program or project manager!”

Stephan Eder, worked directly with Thomas at Infonova GmbH

“As the principal Vendor to our company on a massive IT and business transformation program its rare that you can genuinely declare success and attribute a large part of this success to a single individual and his team. Tom is just such an individual. We leveraged Tom's talents from strategy through to build and deploy, and our confidence in Tom was demonstrated by the fact that we decided to source the full online solution through him, fully leveraging his and his teams expertise. Tom went beyond the simple commercial framework, extending himself to ensure when the going got tough he was there to make us successful - long nights, video conferences at 2am, flights back and forward between Europe and Australia - Tom always accommodated. Since working with Tom I regularly drop him a note for strategic advice and direction, he's a clear leader in his field and I am sure will go on to make many other business's solutions as successful as ours is.”

In all assignments he scored high marks and overall graduated with merit from this course. I can strongly recommend him and wish him all the best for his future! Johannes Hofinger”

Johannes Hofinger, Associate Lecturer, Open University Business School

“Thomas is one of the few people that I have met that has excellent insight into business and management issues and thorough knowledge of the management concepts. His commitment to improving his knowledge and expanding his skills, coupled with above, has resulted in sharp analyses of issues ranging from human resource management to financial evaluations and the solutions proposed have proven to be very successful time and time again. During my interactions with Thomas he has demonstrated clear vision, purpose and strategy for the assignments and tasks at hand. He has not shied to take an issue and "run away" with it providing clear leadership in our tutor group. Moreover, his strong analytical skills allow him to quickly grasp complicated concepts, rearrange them in correlated action points/initiatives and present them clearly by. His strength is in his team spirit and collaborative approach, maintaining the high standards of personal and professional behavior. His enthusiasm, readiness to assist, coupled with his excellent personal skills makes him very reliable and a joy to work with. I have no hesitation to highly and wholeheartedly recommend Thomas.”
