“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom as a Tech Executive thru several entities. From the onset he was quick to invite my design team to the ideation of cutting-edge solutions. His approach created a space where Creativity and Technology could focus on what was next rather than what has been done. Later as I moved to operations, he was a great partner in crafting solutions with the right Tech and Design teams in mind.”

“Tom and I worked together for several years, taking on some of the most challenging projects for our company’s largest clients. We worked closely to encourage our broader teams to work together in a collaborative fashion, working through issues and enabling our teams to grow and develop in a healthy environment.

Tom and I partnered on multiple task forces for the leadership team to work towards improved agency communication, collaboration and culture. I was constantly inspired by the initiative he took to build a fun agency culture and support his fellow colleagues.

He has a HUGE heart and endears himself to his teams and his clients. And, he throws awesome and legendary parties. I look forward to working with Tom again”
March 16, 2013,  Lisa Yamamura, Client Services and Program Management Lead at Organic

“Tom is a great leader who commands the rare talent of building culture without being too cheesy or forced. He has an amazingly cool demeanor even in hairy situations; perhaps due to his extensive industry experience but also his engineer’s mind that could analyze a problem and break it down into digestible, address chunks. At Organic, Tom was as supportive of my extra-curricular activities (running meetups and attending hackathons) as he was of my efforts that mapped directly against corporate-established goals. I’d gladly work with him again!”

September 6, 2012 | Ofir Ejnes, CEO, Pyramid Consulting, Inc. | was with another company when working with Tom at Organic

“Intelligent and engaged are a couple of the words that come to mind when thinking about Tom. I had the fortune to work with Tom as a direct report as well as a team member.
Tom is a great leader and motivator. Seeing his team through numerous complex projects, with an eye firmly on delivering excellence. He is also dedicated to the process, and could usually be found right there with the team no matter the hour.
He inspired me with his ability to keep track of all the moving parts of a project while keeping the client needs firmly in the foreground. No small task when one considers the number and complexity of some of those projects with diverse, geographically separated teams.
I have no hesitation recommending Tom as both a boss and a teammate. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.”
June 6, 2012 | Margaret Beck, Senior Interactive Developer, Technology, Organic | reported to Tom at Organic

“I worked with Tom on numerous projects at Organic, all of which resulted in great success. Tom was the cornerstone to our ability to deliver on what we promised. He ensured that the front-end functionality and back-end solutions were achievable, and that the solution would integrate with the client’s technical environment. He is a true leader, dedicated to the success of his team and clients, a creative thinker, a mediocre fencer, and works hard to bring about the best possible outcomes. I would highly recommend Tom.”

Tom is the best manager I have worked under in my career. I hope I get the opportunity to work with Tom again.”
March 22, 2008 | Cris LeMaster, Director of Engineering, Organic Inc. | managed Tom at Organic

“It’s no exaggeration to say that Tom played a critical role in revitalizing the Organic engineering department, and thus – indirectly – Organic San Francisco as a whole. As a core member of the SF engineering team, I experienced how his leadership shaped our morale and team ethos for the better in numerous ways.
Tom embodies an interesting combination of traits which make him a very effective leader. One word that comes to mind is “understated.” He’s a very intelligent man yet communicates clearly and simply without
intellectualizing things. He manages to assert himself effectively without the usual devices of speaking loudly or being over-assertive. Because of these qualities, he’s very easy-going and personable, enjoyable to engage in conversation, and extremely reliable to address team issues and goals with a notably constructive and solutions-oriented approach.
His knowledge of the web “space” is impressive and he can always be counted on to offer a thoughtful opinion on web trends, best practices, technologies, and development methodologies. I would certainly count myself lucky to have Tom as my boss again someday.”
June 4, 2007 | Paul Craddick, Senior Interface Engineer, Organic | reported to Tom at Organic

“Never have I had the opportunity to see an IT director work up close – and in walks Tom Tully. He committed himself immediately to turning around the IT department at Organic while juggling multiple (I lost count) projects with attitude and skills we all could learn from. Tom is able to handle the most difficult client and walk away with a smile, keeping perspective solid. I get to say, ‘I was there when…’ Tom took front and directed one of the most incredibly challenging projects at Organic to a successful scheduled launch – followed by much fanfare by the client and Organic. It was a pleasure being onboard.”
