“John and I started at Acast in the same week, and despite being brand new, he hopped into the managerial role with expertise and certitude. As we were starting on a relatively new team, he took this opportunity to bring new ideas to our processes and ways of working. He is a big proponent of collaboration, pair programming, group professional development. We met weekly for group CPD sessions. Whenever I had a question, if he didn’t know the answer, he insisted we work together to find the solution. Instead of enforcing a hierarchy, he emphasized that we all hold different types of valuable knowledge and should learn from each other. We met regularly and frequently to discuss career goals and he made a clear effort to find projects that aligned with my interest. Though we worked together for a short time, he had a significant impact on my professional development, and I would highly recommend him to any company with these shared values!”
