“Rafe is the rarest of things - a strategist who really understands technology, down to a surprising level of detail in someone who works at a relatively high level. His thinking is structured, broad-reaching, innovative and non-dogmatic. This is backed up by a curious mind that stays abreast of emerging technologies, combined with a detailed knowledge of existing customer-facing tech. Clients simply love working with Rafe - he is genuinely empathetic and dedicated to their needs, and his relationship with delivery teams means he can understand what is achievable within the existing business and technology context, and where change may need to made. Fiercely intelligent, but with a friendly, constructive approach, Rafe is a pleasure to work with. He constantly seeks to improve from his already high standard, actively seeking constructive feedback and implementing change in the rare instances he needs to. This level-headed maturity goes a long way in building a productive working relationship. But that isn't to say he's dispassionate - he will make sure his point of view will be heard, and is prepared to challenge thinking that he knows is detrimental to the client or the work at hand. When things are tough, as they can sometimes be, his humour is a useful foil. I'm looking forward to when I can work with Rafe again.”
