I had the pleasure to work with Tom in 2021, when he joined our company to manage a very complex project that involved changing highly technical raw material vendors, interfacing with multiple Design Engineers and Project Managers, and making connections with several customers in order to validate and approve those changes.
All that against a very tight timeline imposed by governmental regulations. Tom managed all these variables in a way that only a senior, highly trained, experienced professional could manage.
While driving the organization to do and achieve what was supposed to be achieved via well developed project management tools, meetings and frequent communication, he kept calm under enormous pressure, and was able to get all parties (suppliers, internal peers, customers) to work together aiming for the right timely outcome.
I’m sure that any organization that may need support with highly complex projects will benefit from Tom’s abilities, character, and great personality. Tom is a fantastic professional, and I hope to be able to work again with him in the future.
Tom is a great and experienced professional. He has brought us a lot as Project Manager in Sensata.
He has been effective from Day 1. He has a high level of ownership, is tenacious, organized, clear in his verbal and written communication. He is demanding towards his team but above all a great team player.
He has brought the projects he was leading to a high level, satisfying both internal and external customers.
Definitely a great guy to work with!
One of the first things that impressed me about Tom was how quickly he learnt and got effective on the job.
On just his second day at work, we had to visit a supplier together to discuss a difficult situation and it was great to see that he had read up a lot on the situation a night before and asked lots of questions on the way as well, which helped him contribute effectively in the meeting.
Tom remains calm in a crisis, tries to think out of the box for solutions and always maintained a friendly, approachable demeanor towards people around him creating a good team environment.

And he created awareness of the importance of an integral responsibility for continuous improvement cycles.
