He has defined his personal brand as "saying the quiet part out loud" and is regularly outspoken regarding issues of analyst burnout, industry over-reliance on tooling and the ways we can all bring more humanity back to a heavily tech-centric discipline.
He would also describe himself as "90% Tron, 10% Rinzler", but almost nobody gets that reference.
