He produces quality content, showing an understanding of energy industry issues and writing about them with authority, ensuring that the message is both accurate and precise and captures the essence of keynote speeches and roundtable discussions. Drew has a great business acumen which makes our cooperation with him seamless, efficient and resultful. It is easy to work with him because he is flexible, always accessible/responsive, and delivers the content in time and on budget.
- Judit Pintér, Communications Leader, GE Power Veresegyház
Drew is a multi talented person who can easily handle daily tasks and extraordinary duties as well. With his attention to detail and an objective,and goal oriented approach, the PR services he provides to our work (emphasizing risk management) are always outstanding. He prides himself on being up to date, and is always on the lookout for new opportunities to improve his knowledge in the fields of journalism, PR services, and social media.
- Krisztian Nagy, Digital Marketing Project Manager at Hewlett-Packard
Drew was of great assistance on marketing projects due to the clarity of his writing style and his commitment to quality.
- Mark Bownas, Seconded Partner with KPMG Global Sales and Markets
I have been working with Drew for almost seven years and during this time he has always delivered a high quality work, keeping the deadlines, even while working from home or sitting in the office. He pays attention to details which is essential in risk reviewing, and on the other hand he has the talent to produce creative, inspiring English texts for our company. I had the chance to participate in some of his trainings and therefore I can confirm that he is also a good presenter.
- Fruzsina Dell, Senior Marketing Specialist at KPMG in Hungary
Drew approached me to provide an interview about the work we have been doing in building up our centralised VAT compliance offering. He asked good questions, adapted them to the situation as we spoke together, and produced an excellent first draft of the matters we discussed. This meant that I could review very quickly and time consuming re-drafts were not required. It was certainly easy to work with Drew, and a pleasure to do so.
- Michael Glover, Lead Partner at KPMG Global Services Hungary Ltd
Drew is an extremely talented journalist, producer, and editor. He brings an excellent blend of professionalism, broad based technical skills in journalism across all ranges of media and platforms, and maybe most of all Drew brings creativity and superior content. I worked directly with Drew for 6 years at KPMG where he helped me develop a number of highly acclaimed thought leadership pieces and sophisticated campaigns around these releases. I have cooperated with him since on an independent basis. Drew is my number one go to guy for support when developing, creating and executing multi-platform, multi-purpose media.
- Thompson McDaniel, Jr., Director, Strategy & Operations – Deloitte Central Europe
Drew is an experienced professional, he is promoted and developed awareness and shared his in-depth knowledge of the importance of supporting KPMG's Brand and Compliance policies and standards across the CEE.
