“I can wholeheartedly recommend Nat as a CEO and leader. I've worked with Nat since 2013 when Xamarin acquired LessPainful to build out Xamarin Test Cloud. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had this opportunity. I worked very closely with Nat, particularly in the early days, and I quickly realized that Nat is exceptionally intelligent, driven and knowledgable leader. Nat successfully lead Xamarin through rapid growth both in terms of revenue and employee count until Microsoft acquired us in 2016. Nat was always well respected and liked at Xamarin and remained accessible, empathetic and a visible leader. A few things you'll quickly notice when working with Nat. He sets an extremely high bar and expects your best work, but also leaves space to learn, make mistakes and grow. He is willing to ask important and tough questions that will make you reconsider basic assumptions. In a very competitive market, he attracted very strong talent across engineering, design and sales which enabled Xamarin to successfully design, engineer and sell delightful products. Nat considers user experience of products essential, and will continue to drive for simplicity and delight with the customer experience at the center. Finally, I want to call out that Nat is a tremendous public speaker that can create magical and inspiring moments! Thanks for leading us to success, and for helping me learn and grow as a leader.”
