Thomas is an outstanding leader who excels at both technology and business. I had the privilege of working with him at Huge, where he demonstrated himself as not only a technology expert and leader but as a true business partner, working with both internal stakeholders and external clients. He has a rare combination of technical expertise, strategic vision, and execution skills ((Thomas' delivery plans were legendary at Huge).

I had the pleasure of working with Thomas during my five years at Huge. Thomas is a seasoned technologist and executive that knows how to drive business value through technology and data. As the Managing Director, Technology and President, Platform Strategy he was key to the success of the technology organization globally and was well respected as a leader amongst his peers and teams. He won some of the largest engagements at Huge and was an invaluable advisor to executives from companies such as Apple, McDonald’s, Toyota, Nike, and Hulu to name only a few. Arguably his biggest asset is his personality traits. He listens, is calm and supportive, and continuously strives to improve himself. He is a true leader with broad and deep expertise that is a great addition to any team. I truly enjoyed working with Thomas and hope that I have the opportunity to work with him again.

Thomas, as Huge's MD of Technology (Global) and later President, Platform Strategy (Global), oversaw the technology strategy of all our global offices. Thomas’ support and insight into how the agency and our Singapore office should grow our tech capabilities was absolutely vital. Boutique size offices like mine, which may not have its own technology department, rely on the network for support. In parallel, as the office grows, we rely on Thomas’ expertise to help identify the best way to stand-up our own technology department over time. Regardless of the 16 hour time difference or how busy Thomas was, he was extremely responsive and made himself readily available. Thomas provided expertise and knowledge on both basic technical builds, to Enterprise platform projects, to emerging technologies such as AI, Computer Vision and Mixed Reality. He also helped bridge the gap between our office and other offices to encourage greater collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thomas had a global vision for how Huge could become more fluent in our relevant areas of technical expertise, while also having a solid grasp for the technical challenges and opportunities within the region. I truly enjoyed working and learning from Thomas. I highly recommend Thomas Prommer.

Thomas is one of the most exceptional technologists and leaders I've worked with. Through the time we worked together, he was always a trusted partner when attempting to determine the right solution; whether it was for a product we were building, a client we were working with, a team member, or the office at large. Thomas always works at full scale - he has all of the details at his grasp along with highly strategic thinking. It was how he was able to transform a technology department, continually turn around projects from certain doom, and retain highly skilled people year over year. Thomas was one of the most well liked leaders at Huge and he has all of the skill and professionalism to back it up. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Thomas for the last four years. He has time and again shown tremendous leadership as digital business leader and advisor to our program. Thomas is one of the most intelligent, passionate technologists I have met. And all the while he demonstrates his integrity and thoughtfulness. Thomas continue to make an enormous impact in the market and I trust that we will continue to have opportunities to work together.
Joe Wykes, SVP Sales & Channels, Acquia
. Joe worked with Thomas but they were at different companies. -
The first time I met Thomas was during a final interview. I didn't really know anything about him. I was unfamiliar with his career history, his client roster, his aspirations for his department, and had no clue how I might fit in under his leadership.
I can distinctly recall how I felt after the interview was over. I was not overwhelmed with a sensation of pride for having done well. I didn't feel nervous about the things I said. I was just excited. Excited for the future in whatever form that might take, regardless of how the interview went.
As anyone can deduce from reading some of his previous recommendations, Thomas is well known, respected, and successful. He embodies all the traits of a leader. Yet despite all his qualifications, it is his humanness that drew me to work with him. This is not something that is learned, or acquired through trial or effort. It probably doesn't jump out on paper but, it is simply who he is. He is an inspiration those around him and a driving force for self-improvement. Above all else it is why I am happy to recommend Thomas.
Matt Ryan, Director of Engineering at sweetgreen
. Thomas was senior to Matt but didn’t manage Matt directly. -
Arguably one of the hardest parts about me leaving Huge was knowing I would no longer be able to work with Thomas on a daily basis. Everyone who has ever worked with Thomas will tell you the same thing, he’s the definition of a leader. Watching Thomas’ professionalism over the last five years left me with a set of standards that has set me up for success post Huge.
As our department head, Thomas was fair, and always gave people opportunities to grow in their career. He was the first manager I ever had to take career management and goal setting very seriously. His management style allowed me the chance to prove myself as a contractor to a full time employee. It allowed me to grow from a QA analyst to a Product Manager. Thomas has been very inspirational in allowing me to take risks in my career that I otherwise may not have taken without his influence.
Loic Lamb, Product Manager
. Thomas was senior to Loïc but didn’t manage Loïc directly. -
In my IT career spanning over 20 years, rarely have I across someone like Thomas with an extremely rare combination of leadership, technical prowess, and personal skills as a single package. It was a delight working with Thomas during my multiple stints at HUGE. Working in challenging environments and meeting difficult client expectations was a breeze under his leadership.
I can say this with confidence that there will be no project that will not be delivered in time with the utmost quality and due diligence under his direction. “Process”, which I don’t want to even talk about – that probably is ingrained in him and not require any training. His adaptation and understanding of the technology landscape, be it modern or legacy platforms in impressive and worth noting.
His attention to details and passion to delivery quality is admirable, and the customers loved interacting with and having him on their team. Obviously, his ascend up the leadership chain at HUGE does not come as a surprise.

. Harish reported to Thomas directly. -
I have had the esteemed pleasure of working with Thomas Prommer during his very celebrated career at HUGE inc. Thomas exemplifies the meaning of professional, and it has been an absolute pleasure watching his rise to leadership within the technology-leading agency. Thomas has always approached engagements with humility, but without sacrificing accountability and expectations for partners, peers, and clients. Thomas excelled at managing partner relationships and unselfishly strived to generate mutual win outcomes. Thomas is always willing to share his vast knowledge around the marketing technology landscape and put into practice by allocating time out of a busy schedule to share thought leadership with my team. Thomas is an empowering leader and this trait is on display each time you engage with his team. I would highly recommend Thomas for any future leadership opportunity and will continue to promote his services for technology brand strategy.

I worked with Thomas on an large enterprise project on which Thomas was the team lead.
The combination of his background as a developer, combined with great management skills helped him produce great project flow and a non-stressful environment, thus making it easy to deliver the product on time.
It was amazing that he was involved in a project with such a high level of detail, always making the right decisions at the right time.
He always tried to motivate the team, in order for them to give their maximum, making sure that coding standards and best practices were always met.

It's impossible to convey the value that Thomas brings to any situation in one short review. You simply have to experience it. He is an entire project team wrapped into one man and he can truly be anything that you need him to be. He has the patience of a department lead, the strategic vision of an business executive, the impeccable knowledge of a technology vp and yet is still very approachable at every level.
I know that Thomas is one of those people who will go far in everything he does, so if you get the chance to work with him, take it. No matter what, you'll come away having learned something and you will also get to know a very amazing individual.

. Thomas was senior to Diane but didn’t manage Diane directly. -
If there's one thing you can take away from this recommendation, it is that Thomas is among the best all-around problem-solvers you will ever meet.
To start, Thomas is organized. From the way he runs meetings, to organizing a team, to planning a project, there is an easily intelligible reason for it all that helps everyone that works with him understand both what he expects and what he will deliver.
He's also incredibly solutions oriented, level-headed and focused. He's never about hierarchy or the "hands-off that's-not-my-job" angle; He's always focused on solving the problem, 100% - making sure that what needs to get done actually gets done to the level of quality that he insists upon from himself and others. The solutions he develops are tailored to fit the problem - does the process need to change because of how the client works? No problem. Does the the team have a functional, but aberrational working style? He plays to its strengths in the near-term and focuses on longer term change.
Thomas is also very meticulous. Details matter: dates matter, budgets matter, the right team matters. Things rarely get by him and not because he's in the weeds, but because he deeply appreciates that when things get complicated, the only way out is through a better understanding of the problem - and that is in the details.
To top it all off, Thomas is very personable and even keel (even in the most stressful situations). Clients love working with him and teams do, too. Everyone who works with him sees him as a leader - someone who is reliable, trustworthy and, most importantly, effective.
I'm looking forward to the next time I get to work with him. He's the best of the best.
Brock Boddie, Managing Director Europe at Work & Co
. Brock worked with Thomas on the same team. -
Thomas is an exceptionally well rounded technology architect and manager. Besides being a talented and pragmatic architect he is also one of the most effective client facing technologists that I have ever worked with, so much so that his ability to build strong relationships with demanding clients has often seen him put in the position of representing the company as a whole rather than just the technology side of an engagement. As a development manager he is highly detail orientated and on top of every small facet of the development process, clearly communicating to his teams what needs to be done and when it needs to be finished.
In closing, as a fellow technology architect Thomas is an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and I hope to get the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

He also has a genuine way of connecting with people that make interactions enjoyable and motivational, creating synergistic internal and external relationships that generate recurring business.

I came to rely on Thomas heavily as a mentor, friend, and source of immense knowledge, while working with him at FI. He is the rare type of employee, who can add value to any project he touches, whether it is an internal project such as implementing a new HR system, launching a client portal or enhancing a product such as Kontain. He possesses a keen sense of people that allows him to quickly determine how to personally connect and win their confidence . This skill is was invaluable while at Fi, since not only did he oversee client projects, Thomas was tapped to work on business development as well, which at the time was a new challenge for him, but one that came naturally. His strategies are right on target, and his tactics are always successful. Thomas can identify talent, train, and manage, all while motivating the various personalities on his team.
