Adam was my technical counterpart supporting Startup Partners at AWS. He exemplified Customer Obsession by acting as a direct representative of our Partners within the AWS ecosystem, advocating on their behalf to ensure their needs were being met and exceeded. His attention to detail and persistence in ensuring that our Partners were taken care of Earned Trust with our counterparts, and created an environment that fostered innovation and mutual success for all parties involved.

I continue to be highly impressed with Adam's continued leadership in the implementation of technical solutions. Adam's broad technical skills, coupled with his communication skills, makes him uniquely valuable in any environment. It truly continues to be a pleasure to work with Adam.

Adam has the special ability to connect with his customers, partners and prospects while making them feel comfortable with the authenticity and courage he exhibits in personal interactions. He never appears too technical, yet always technical enough to help the customer or partner. Adam is always willing to hear what it is the real motivation for solving a problem, rather than just the problem itself. His ability to make complex and challenging technical concepts into easily digestible scenarios is both charming and enlightening. It was a pleasure and privilege to be supported as a partner by Adam.

Adam's expertise in internet engineering, particularly in BGP optimization and the intricacies of IP transit, proved to be a linchpin in guiding the Google Cloud account team assigned to Fortinet. His understanding was pivotal in addressing the specific requirements of the Fortinet SASE platform, contributing substantially to the formulation of a strategy that was both relevant and highly effective. Adam's role was not just instrumental but irreplaceable, forming the backbone of the successful GCP/Fortinet SASE deal. His contributions were not only crucial but also served as a cornerstone in the entire negotiation, ultimately driving the deal to its successful conclusion.

Adam Blackington, a Google Customer Engineer engaged by EPAM Inc., has been a positive asset to our team in delivering solutions for the Google Marketplace.

His ability to quickly identify and connect us with the right subject matter experts (SMEs) from the Dialogflow team was instrumental in resolving our issues and supporting the creation of flexible flows.

Adam's assistance extended beyond Dialogflow. He also played a role in helping us find the right team to address issues related to the Datastore API and Discovery Engine API.

Throughout our collaboration, Adam demonstrated a consistently friendly and supportive attitude. He was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our success. His positive outlook, outstanding communication skills, and proactive approach made working with him a pleasure.

We were fortunate to have Adam as a solutions architect for our AWS partnership. Adam has always shown a high degree of professionalism, deep knowledge, and a positive attitude. We jointly presented a webinar on cloud networking and security (https://youtu.be/_9w_Ryx0A9k), where Adam was instrumental in driving the point about AWS's infrastructure excellence. His communication skills and easy-going character are always a pleasure to work with!

Adam is an excellent person to work with and I am very grateful he supported our company in the AWS ISV Partner program. He always brought a high level of energy and creative problem solving to our team. I knew that no matter the scale of our issues he would not only come back with the right solution but also with some additional recommendations to make the most of our partnership. Thank you, Adam.

I have had the distinguished privilege of working with Adam in a very high pressure environment. In the short time Adam has been a member of my team, he has raised the bar in all of the technical areas under which he has responsibility. His level of work ethic and professionalism is without equal and he is pleasant and personable when interfacing and communicating within all management levels of the program. He is calm under pressure, makes sound decisions, and performs at a level that cannot be matched, especially when faced with extreme adversity in an environment with rapidly changing focus. I am proud to have Adam on my team and I am proud to say that Adam is instrumental in making our program a success.
