ABOUT TOM KENT
Over the last 10 years I’ve had the opportunity to experience the software development, digital health and employee engagement industries from the perspective of an “on the ground” software engineer, and also as a product manager driving the general direction of the product from planning to implementation. Leveraging my extensive leadership and software engineering experience, today I mentor and guide teams to deliver excellent products to millions of customers worldwide. From my time at White Digital to today I’ve owned and delivered projects, reporting to key stakeholders and maintaining client and vendor relationships.
