British Consulate General of New York
Toby is off-the-charts amazing. He is talented at everything he tries, from being a visionary to being the hands-on doer, and everything in between. As a colleague and manager, he's the consummate coach, mentor and cheerleader. As a strategic counselor to senior executives and entrepreneurs, he is both thorough in understanding the background and competitive landscape as well as instantly responsive to the latest developments in the news. Watching him multitask is breathtaking, as you can see him thinking of the next 10 things that need to happen at a press junket or conference while simultaneously typing out instructions or responding to questions -- all with a serene smile on his face. I've had the good fortune to get to know him personally as well as professionally, and you can't find a more loyal, supportive, thoughtful and fun friend. He lives life to the fullest, and seems never to tire. He draws energy from sharing his energy, organizing professional networking groups and beaming with pride when they develop their own legs and carry on without him in the lead. He relishes learning something new, seamlessly incorporating it into his ever-deepening comprehension of the many different spheres he moves in, and never losing the ability to relate to everyone on their own terms. Toby is a joy to work with and be with.
