“Anton is passionate about technology. He has a deep understanding of the business mechanics to make a product successful and not reinvent the wheel.

His experience in Networking gives him the ability to understand the different challenges in a distributed system. Anton can go very deep in a given technical field, for example to optimize the bits and bytes of a low level stack. His broad knowledge in tech allows him to zoom out when necessary, delegate to his engineers, and focus on the overall architecture, its cost, the different pros/cons of a tech decision, the security aspects, SLAs, roadmap, key metrics...

Anton is also great on stage and successfully delivered a great presentation at our Google Cloud Summit in Stockholm.”

“Anton is an inspiring leader who never stops thinking about ways to improve the product. A techie through-and-through, he brings his deep technological expertise to every discussion, but takes care to let the ideas of everyone else come to light as well. I don't imagine there's ever a time of day when his brain stops exploring exciting new ideas and concepts!”

“I'm pleased that Anton is a member of the Packet Pushers blogging community, where he's sharing his expertise with other networking and IT professionals.“

“Anton's curious, tenacious and fearless. He is sharp - technically and non-technically -, has a strong logical mind and has excellent work ethics.

Together he is a unique individual who is very competent in anything that he does. I have not seen him fail in anything that he puts his mind to and he always yields excellent results.

Any organisation that has him is very fortunate and will be the envy of others.”

Anton is a highly competent and resourceful network architect. I've worked with Anton in a number of environments over the past seven years and seen him grow, from quickly learning the ropes at Inland Revenue, and sharpening his Unix and programming skills, before taking an interest in networks and becoming the seasoned professional today.

Anton's broad knowledge gives him a good perspective on many situations. In difficult situations Anton maintains cool, and always perseveres to achieve the goal at hand. In a team, Anton is fun and inclusive, always happy to make time for others (even when under pressure), and a real joy to work with.

“I had the pleasure of working with Anton during my time as Product manager for Síminn's residential internet solutions.

I first met Anton during a presentation on the next generation broadband systems. I was immediately impressed by Anton's vision and clarity of presentation. Anton has the rare gift of not getting you lost in the technical details, which he knows so well, and being able to translate the technology into possibilities for the end user.

Anton is smart and very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to do so again and give him my very best recommendations.”

“nzwireless has used Anton's services on many occasions over the past 7 years.

His abilities and understanding of our business have formed the basis of a solid and reliable Juniper and Cisco core for our network.

As industry leaders in our field, we have an obligation to our clients to constantly keep our network updated and implement new services, and Anton has been involved in most of these.

If Anton ever returned to New Zealand we would most certainly employ him without a second thought.

I have no hesitation in recommending him for any core network role he applies for, particularly one that involves a consultancy role on new builds.”

“Anton was for a period of a little less than two years one of my direct reports as manager of IP networks at Síminn. During that time I found him to be very easy to work with, always joyful and high spirited. I found him to be very talented and a quick learner, able to quickly adapt to changes in the work environment and in technology.

During these two years Anton took initiative in leading a very large and long term project within Síminn. The project involved architecting next generation broadband access for Síminn quadruple play network. Anton supervised and coordinated the project which required cooperative work between various different departments within Síminn as well as vendor selection and collaboration on design issues. The project had and still has great importance for Síminn going forward and Anton played a key role in setting the wheels in motion.

Anton has broad knowledge and experience in networking and is very reliable in everything he does. I therefore highly recommend Anton as a professional and as a person.”

“I have worked closely with Anton for the last 2 years.
Anton has the right mix competencies of a great Product Manager. He has great knowledge of the networking market space, has strong business acumen, and his technical skills are impeccable.

His communication is clear and direct and he knows how to carve out the right set of features for a product family to be successful on the market.

He has a strong sense of vision and thinks beyond the obvious to draw conclusions using a methodical data driven approach.

He puts clear expectations on his surroundings, and doesn't hesitate to share his competence if needed. Anton has all the tools to take on a Senior Management position. It's been really fun working with Anton!”
