What is it they say about the inverse relationship between the length of the statement and the level of acrimony…?

crikey! What a bunch of shitty messages for a very pleasant self-effacing marketer that went out of his way to help others.
Good luck with the next chapter Tim. Sorry you are surrounded by such a bunch of anonymous wankers.

Good luck on your next move Tim. Big loss for GroupM.

Your experience as a male industry leader would have been polar opposite to a junior ad tech employee.

Well said Professor!
Whilst I choose to remain anonymous it’s not because I want to bash Tim. In contrast I wish Tim the very best. He is a terrific fellow and wherever he lands next will be getting an immense talent.

I’ve had the pleasure of working under Tim for a number of years at Facilitate Digital in Sydney. What a fine gentleman and brilliant technology guru! I learned so much from Tim. I was happy for him at GroupM and I know wherever he lands, he’ll once again prove himself to be the best Operations and Technology Leader in the business! Go Tim…I certainly wish you the super success!
