Tom is a Communications Consultant, Executive Coach and Workshop Facilitator who partners with executives and teams to deliver programs and communications that cut through the noise. Tom has deep discipline expertise in value proposition and product management, as well as marketing communications and storytelling at the executive level.
As a true believer in the axiom that communication is only as good as the message received, Tom believes that every great engagement is rooted in communications that are compelling, relevant, and useful.
With over 35 years in hi-tech as a marketing and communications professional, Tom has experience across the entire value chain (retail, distribution, manufacturing) in both hardware and software, and is obsessed with the customer, both internal and external.
He spent the last 23 years at Microsoft, working with a variety of product and marketing groups, with leaders and teams at all levels of the business. He has owned comms strategies for organizations, created training and guidance for the marketing profession, and traveled the world helping top executives deliver speeches that resonate and inspire.
Tom graduated from the University of Washington and still lives in the Seattle area with his wife. As an “empty nester,” his two children still occasionally visit for a free meal and laundry service. A 7x Ironman competitor, you can often find him on his bike or running - and while he no longer races, he is guided by the deeply held value that there is no such thing as too many bikes.
