Client Testimonials
By the time I joined Snook, Toby had helped shape the digital team practice around Agile and ways of working on multidisciplinary teams, which was new to a lot of folks. I only heard great feedback about people's experience working with Toby – how inspiring and humble he is as a leader.
I very much appreciated how he championed iterative ways of working, breaking down development tasks into simple stories, ensuring quality, and establishing trust with the team and clients. I worked with Toby to develop a skills rubric for developers to help with career progression, assessing where the team is at and establishing a way forward. He also helped me interview developers to build out the team. It was effortless working with Toby, it felt like we had been working together for a long time, but we haven't actually met in person!
