“I had the sincere pleasure of working with Shawn for his time with TeraThink. Shawn joined TeraThink to move his career into the Federal Government consulting arena. I believe we all benefitted from him bringing his commercial experience to this domain. His contributions to both our company and many of our clients far exceeded my expectations. Shawn is by far one of the best agile thinkers and leaders I have worked with in my career. His passion for the discipline and his true mastery of the concepts not only convey in all of his conversations, but also allow him to create the best solutions to help his clients.
Shawn is an out of the box thinker, quick to ask 'why' and also to provide you a 'why' from his perspective. He is highly motivated, a self-starter and disciplined learner, and the kind of person that every manager would be lucky to have on his or her team. I truly feel smarter and more enabled after having worked with Shawn this past year and learned from him. His work products always exceeded my expectations, and were always produced with both thoughtfulness and quality. In addition, Shawn is also a great facilitator. He runs training sessions, brown bags, and facilitates meetings in a way that really draw in the attendees and convey the information clearly.
Shawn was able to join our DHS delivery team and add significant value right away. He enabled individuals, agile teams, and program leadership to mature their thinking on all things agile. I was especially impressed with his recommendations on agile metrics, as well as his ability to stand up Communities of Practice and lead many topics. He took on every challenge thrown his way and constantly looked for new, better ways of helping our program achieve its goals.”
