Terrence is an exceptional executive leader with a strong focus on team-building and development, something that has paid dividends to Forj as a remote scale-up organisation. His approach to problem-solving and commitment to excellence is an asset that lends itself perfectly to a technology-focused company, web3 or otherwise.

I had the pleasure of working with Terrence for one year, during his tenure as CTO at Forj. As a colleague, Terrence impressed me with his technical expertise, strong leadership skills, and unwavering commitment to building a people centric team in a challenging fast paced and remote environment.

During Terrence’s time as CTO, he played a critical role in shaping the technical team into a high functioning department.

Terrence was a pleasure to work with on a personal level. His friendly and approachable demeanour made him a go-to resource for many colleagues across the organization, and his ability to build and maintain strong relationships across multiple departments and vendors was crucial to our journey to success.

Overall, I highly recommend Terrence for any leadership role in the technology space. He has a proven track record of success, a wealth of technical knowledge, and the interpersonal skills necessary to excel in any team environment.

I am delighted to recommend Terrence, who served as the CTO at Forj. Our paths crossed frequently as he spearheaded a transformative agenda across the engineering department, reshaping it into an incredibly efficient, results-oriented team. One of Terrence’s many strengths was his unwavering commitment to deliver value early and consistently, all while adhering to agile practices within engineering and product.

Yet, what truly sets Terrence apart is his extraordinary people skills. His leadership style is an amalgamation of thoughtfulness, integrity, and transparency. His ability to inspire, guide, and invest in his team’s development is simply remarkable. He has an innate talent for fostering a positive and inclusive work environment that encourages open communication and collaboration.

Terrence’s technical expertise as a digital practitioner is extensive and impressive, but it’s his approachability and unwavering support for his team’s development that truly make him stand out. He extended his support not only to his direct reports but also to colleagues from all departments, always willing to lend a helping hand or share his wisdom.

In essence, Terrence is a leader of extraordinary caliber, combining technical mastery with exceptional people skills. His contributions have left an indelible mark on Forj and on those who had the pleasure of working with him. I wholeheartedly endorse him for any future endeavors, confident that his exceptional leadership and interpersonal skills will be a valuable asset to any team.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Terrence in the Executive team at Forj, I can attest to his exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and strategic vision.

He has the ability to balance big-picture thinking with keen attention to detail. Also, he consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and leveraged his technical expertise to identify opportunities for optimization and improvement across the organization. His strategic vision and technical acumen helped us to stay still during a very long bear market and propelled us out of the curve in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

In summary, I highly recommend Terrence for any future leadership role. He is an exceptional CTO who possesses a rare combination of technical proficiency, strategic vision, and strong leadership skills.

What set Terrence apart is his exceptional people skills, which make him an outstanding leader and manager. Always supportive and attentive to the team’s needs, Terrence promoted a 180-degree change in the direction of the Tech department, bringing the overall quality and image of the team to another level. Terrence also brings a very rare set of skills based on his vast experience in the Industry and the ability to understand both business and tech equally.

I worked under Terrence as a Senior Product Owner and I must say both myself and our tech team grew professionally and became much more efficient.

Terrence is an inspiring and diligent leader how trusts his team and delegates, no micromanagement was ever noticed. This way of empowering boosted our motivation and output visibly.

Besides, he knows the blockchain and fintech space very well, and he was the driver behind ensuring our processes and tech stack are up to the mark and scale.

Terrence has also helped us build the product team, guiding us with his product and market experience and expertise: we became much more agile and lean and reduced our time-to-MVP drastically.

All in all, Terrence shaped a collective of very capable professionals who have a clear vision to work towards and who are very much like a united tribe. Everybody knows their responsibilities and trusts each other.

I’m looking forward for our professional paths to cross again.

I had the pleasure of working under Terrence as a project manager at Forj. I was especially impressed by his technical expertise, leaderships skills and interpersonal abilities. This was my first tenure within the blockchain space, Terrence was incredibly approachable and helpful in answering the many technical questions that I had for the tech team.

A compassionate leader who promotes empowerment over micromanagement whilst leading his teams. He revolutionised the tech team and got it up and running like a well oiled machine. I would have no hesitation in recommending Terrence for the position of CTO. He will be surely missed at Forj and he will be an extremely valuable addition to any team.

My strong belief that Terrence is a team player.
I was glad working under his guidance and management because of his:

• Strong communication skills
• Clear and long-term vision
• Collaborator
• Can organise team and it’s work worldwide
• Can operate in hard and tough situations without panic and cold and calm mind

That meant a lot for us our team and we reached out many great results as:

• Dramatically increased speed of delivering product and features ( by 50% at least)
• Decreased the level of bugs and mistakes (by 70%)
• Improved the quality of work by approaching SCRUM method + systematical approach to work
• Every step was documented and instructed with his guidance

P.S. Best boss I ever worked with

I had the pleasure of working with Terrence during our time at Forj. Terrence was very instrumental in creating our new tech-team by interviewing and hiring a bunch of qualified and technically sound candidates. He was at the forefront of putting together a very capable blockchain team and transitioning them onto various Forj projects, ensuring a short learning curve in the process. His leadership skills, deep understanding of blockchain at a conceptual and technical level, and in-depth understanding of the market were great assets to our different technical teams at Forj.

Besides his knowledge and leadership skills, one thing that always stood about Terrence is that he was available round the clock and always willing to assist team-members on all fronts. What Terrence brought to the table in terms of years of experience in the blockchain as well as the IT field was unique, and that, coupled with his energy and hard work, made him a very crucial part of the company.

Terrence is an exemplary leader who has a very good sense of direction while showing so much compassion and empathy while at the same time showing focus and efficiency. He has been amazing to work with.

After working for many companies, what I can contrast with Terence is that he is a very detailed, professional person, dedicated to the formation of excellent teams, always attentive to any type of administrative, personal or professional need of each one of the members. That is, something that often cannot be witnessed.

I always like to think that companies are made up of people. Therefore, from there is born the best service or product that one can imagine as an individual.

That is why, if at any time you need a person who has the ability to form an excellent team or maintain an existing one with the best possible execution, close monitoring of any type of event and decision-making that will undoubtedly transfer to the Company towards the right path for people who own a business or investors who want the best results. I definitely recommend Terence. Like one of the best candidates you can get.

I worked with Terrence as a Senior Blockchain Developer and I can say he is an excellent CTO.

He sets realistic goals and gives reasonable deadlines to complete the goals.

His knowledge is vast and extensive, and he possesses exceptional leadership skills.

I look forward to working with him again.

I highly recommend Terrence for any CTO position. In my time working with Terrence at Forj, I have been consistently impressed with his deep knowledge and experience in blockchain technology and its applications.

Terrence has a proven ability to lead the development and implementation of complex solutions that deliver real business value. He also has shown a strong track record of successfully navigating the challenges that arise in the world of blockchain technology. Terrence also holds concise communication skills, and is able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical users, effectively communicating complex technical concepts in a clear and concise manner.

I am confident that Terrence would be an incredibly valuable asset to any organization.

It is rare to come across a CTO who not only possesses Terrence’s level of skill and efficiency but also a true commitment to providing a supportive team atmosphere that encourages excellence through growth.

I have the pleasure of working with Terrence at Forj and am continually impressed by his ability to successfully plan and execute multiple projects at once, keeping track of details and projections at every stage. He is able to do this while maintaining the highest standard of integrity for his team and graciously giving his time outside of the tech department so everyone understands how to make a project succeed.

Terrence’s knowledge-sharing and genuine passion for new and innovative trends make me feel quite lucky to be working with one of the best in the field.

I am pleased to offer my endorsement of Terrence Gatsby for any leadership or technical executive positions. During my tenure as Chief Revenue Officer at Datassure, I had the opportunity to work closely with Terrence, and I was continuously impressed by his expertise, creativity, and ability to drive change.

Terrence was responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of end-to-end IoT solutions at Datassure that generate exclusive data streams. His leadership and technical skills were critical in establishing a cohesive team, devising a technical roadmap, and executing it with excellence.

Terrence’s knowledge of IoT solutions and data curation is unparalleled. He is a natural leader and motivator, continuously challenging his team to push the limits of what is possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Terrence for any leadership or technical executive position in the fields of A.I., data curation, and IoT solutions. His expertise, creativity, and leadership make him an invaluable asset to any organization.

Terrence is a very capable IT Executive. He has a deep understanding of the technical operational requirements of the business. I would highly recommend Terrence.

I have known Terrence Gatsby for some time. He has held the role of Chief Information Officer at Clout.com, where I am the COO. In all my years of experience, Terrence stands out for his professionalism including his intelligence, work ethic, integrity, positive attitude, teamwork mentality, leadership, diligence, and project management skills. He is well respected throughout the organization for being the “go-to” person for information technology advice and guidance.

Throughout the time I’ve known him, he has consistently demonstrated a positive attitude that influences everyone who comes in contact with him. During his time with Clout, he played an important role in helping launch the company’s online products. This included developing the company’s technology roadmap in order to establish an A.I. driven data product connected to the accounting, money transfer, and identity verification Application Programming Interface (API) of over 19,000 participating banks. In fact, he has been so effective in this role that Clout is now considered one of the leading financial technology firms in the arena of card-linked rewards and transactional intelligence.

In summation, due to his great attitude, dedication, and excellent potential, I would heartily recommend Terrence Gatsby for additional services in a consulting or advisory role. I am confident he would be a great asset to any team or organization.

I worked very closely with Terrence, he was always a beacon of positivity and a pleasure to see in our office, demonstrating an expansive skill set in both technology and people management. I have worked with a lot of executives in tech and not one has had the depth of character and friendliness that Terrence possesses.

What stood out to me most about working with Terrence, was his depth of knowledge in technology. Often times executives at his level simply point and command because they either don’t have the wherewithal to get things done or they prefer to simply tell others what to do. Whenever our dev team encountered roadblocks Terrence was there to lead them through in a hands-on capacity. This level of support eventually made the dev team comfortable enough to proactively seek Terrence’s guidance, which he would always provide without hesitation.

I hope to work with Terrence again in the near future.

Terrence and I worked together for several years at CLOUT. From the moment he started, he brought with him an aura that circumvented the entire office. His ability to effectively communicate with our entire team including the CEO, Marketing team, and the development team was a breath of fresh air and much needed at our startup. Usually it’s hard to find people that are just as good at hands-on work as they are at hands-off management, but Terrence had the skills necessary for both areas.

His management skills combined with his vast knowledge of technologies including streamlining our entire development process was a pleasure to witness — but I think the thing I was most impressed with was his ability to jump right in from day one and develop personal relationships with everyone on the team. He is a genuine person and any company would be happy to have him on board.

My name is Jose Antonio Reyes and I have known Terrence Gatsby for 4 years. He served as CTO from 2015 till 2017 providing architectural design and technical guidance while developing a global training platform for C Suite Executives.

In all my years of experience, Terrence Gatsby stands out for his professionalism including his intelligence, work ethic, positive attitude, teamwork mentality, leadership, diligence, and relationship management. He is well respected throughout the organization for being the “go-to” person for operational excellence.

Throughout the time I’ve know him, he has consistently demonstrated a positive attitude. During his time with IGM, he played an important role in launching the company and its product line.

In fact, he was so effective in this role that IGM Global is now the leader in preparing C-Level executives for the 4th industrial revolution.
