"I’ve worked with Carl for 2 years, over multiple projects. On our last project, Carl and I worked with a customer implementing a beta version of one of our new products. There were a lot of technical unknowns, especially on the data integration side. Carl and I were responsible for different aspects of the product but he collaborated with me on every aspect of the project to innovate and deliver a solution that our sales team still uses as a reference. From that project, I learned that Carl is driven to learn and solve problems, and brings a lot of creativity from his own entrepreneurial experiences."
