Leadership Endorsements

Loke is a great team builder and manager, coaxing creativity and excellence from his reports with encouragement and collaboration. In my first role as a Developer Evangelist, I couldn't have asked for a better role model. He is as good at painting the big picture as he is at drilling down to the fine details. And most importantly, he brings a passion for the brand and for the customer to what he does.

Greg BulmashTechnical Evangelist, Amazon

Those that have worked with Loke are unanimous: his passion for customers, for the technology they use, and for contributing to his colleagues' success are legendary. Loke is an extremely capable executor - whether delivering a riveting and deeply technical talk, coordinating a conference attended by thousands, or leveraging emerging technologies to build product buzz.

Mike SaffitzCTO, Apptentive

Everyone who has worked with Loke Uei is infected by his passion, enthusiasm, and creative drive. Loke exemplifies the blend of technical and business acumen we say we are all looking for, then balances it all with a personable style that motivates all around him.
