Testimonials
“Stuart is without question the most inspiring leader I have worked with. His ability to define a clear product vision and develop business strategy at the macro level, yet still maintain a level of intense, laser focus on the details that truly matter is both unique and inspiring.”
“Stuart is an exceptional leader. He has a unique skillset — combining authenticity, laser-like attention to detail, an intuitive understanding of the technology world, and the ability to build a world-class team around a clear vision. As the company has grown, his responsiveness, integrity and energy have never wavered — and it’s been a pleasure to work, travel, and help grow an amazing company with Stuart and the team he’s built.”
