Read full recommendation from Sam Grace
Karl is a fantastic communicator. He combines a deep understanding of the forces reshaping modern working practices with a strong technical understanding that help provide clarity on what an effective platform strategy is today. I had the pleasure of working with Karl for more than a year during his time at Slack, and we partnered on a number of media interviews and speaking engagements. Karl’s ability to connect with people and make complex trends and technologies accessible to all levels of an audience was paricularly impressive. The warmth, enthusiasm and positive mindset he brought were also strong assets. Any business would be lucky to have Karl as part of its team and helping to shape its tech strategy.
Sam and I worked together on media interviews and speaking engagements during my time at Slack.
