"Having worked with Drew for 2.5 years, in that time I have gotten to know a guy whose drive to execute on big ideas fuels everything he does. His ability to plan verges on prescience. As a Product Manager, he mixes a meticulous understanding of the technology at hand with healthy doses of creativity and common sense. Drew is that operationally-solid business / technology guy who loves startup-style problem solving but understands the enterprise approach. He's a very reliable and pragmatic manager of projects and partnerships, he writes great documentation, he's handy with wireframes, he's great with system architecture, he's solid in Excel -- plus countless other tools or competencies you need to run a company, make it grow, track what you did, and plan for what you want to do next. In other words, he's a huge asset here at MediaHound."
"I worked with Drew very closely on a proprietary music search site. His professionalism and demeanor were pivotal to the success of this project. The evolution of the project took us through many challenges. I found Drew to be a great partner in helping us work through technical issues, design changes, UI changes and database mapping. Drew's unique attention to detail and patience were very helpful to my implementation team. I would strongly recommend Drew as an executive PM who is also very savvy with SEO. My experience working with Drew was a real pleasure and I would certainly look to him for future needs in this area."
"I met Drew in 2009 while pursuing my M.S. in robotics at USC. While I haven't had the pleasure of working with Drew professionally, I've interacted with him in numerous social settings, talked through problems, and brainstormed new ideas. Drew is capable of quickly coming up to speed on interesting technical problems, isolating the most challenging pieces, and providing new insight and perspective. When organizing any sort of activity, from social outings to moving furniture, he has always been efficient, on task, and a pleasure to be around. Things just run more smoothly when he's around."
"During his tenure as PM at PLAVEB, Drew was instrumental in defining the sales and project implementation processes that set our company on the path to stability, growth, and success. His professionalism, persistent work ethic, and amiable nature attracted high-quality clients. He used insight and critical thinking to develop a deep understanding of our various clients' needs, proposing appropriate solutions backed up by clear and meticulous specifications. His follow-through in project implementation, and his high standards for communication and quality, ensured that our team worked effectively, that our clients remained motivated and satisfied, and that our company delivered only the best products we could. It was a pleasure working with Drew and I am confident he would be a great asset to any future employer."
