I had this fantastic opportunity to work with Terence during a large Greenfield business and technology transformation initiative at Drake and Scull Int PJSC. Many times during the rough moments of the program, I saw him first hand, his ability to focus on the end goals of achieving the desired results with the intensity and desire to drive tangible outcomes. That maturity, to step out of the confusion and look at the factors that contribute to organizational challenges, and to respond to them with innovative solutions and provide guidance, which results in measurable outcomes. “Digital Transformation” is a buzzword these days, but still after all these years, many leaders do not know what it truly represents. Terence was implementing those very advanced approach years ago (Data-driven, AI, and DevOps) extensive use of Open Source before it became a norm. Transformation of scale and size first needs a purpose, and the outcome to be a result of clearly defining the purpose and driving a road-map. Role of a Transformation leader is just not strategic, but creative and innovative, which makes it a flexible solution which is far from rigid guardrails and adapts to many disruptive economies evolving with minimal impact. I will second Terence leadership in a heartbeat. - Global Head ORACLE Digital Application - CSC (DXC)

I have been engaged by Terence for multiple projects during past 10 years. During each of the interaction, I found Terence not only knowledgeable on the subject matter; but with immense information on the solution portfolio thus acquiring optimised solution. This way though he has been able to save cost for his organisation; he has always succeeded to implement futuristic solution that protects organisation's investment with no compromise on performance. This approach also helped him to save large support expenses as the newer technology is cheaper to support and organisation requires to upgrade technology at a later date. One needs to be updated on the technology front whilst interacting with Terence
