Tom Whittaker:  " I worked with Thomas for 8 years and he is by far the most dynamic leaders I have ever known. When I would spend time in-person with Thomas or see him speak in front of the company, I would walk away energized, focused and ready to take on the world. He has a natural ability to motivate and lead. Additionally, Thomas stayed steadfast in his vision for our organization – the tactics to executed may have changed - but the vision remained consistent around creating a quality product and delivering exceptional services. I truly appreciated this having come from organizations that changed vision and goals regularly. This consistency, I feel, is critical as an organization like Bridgeline Digital rapidly grew. What stands out the most for me in my time reporting directly to Thomas was his ability to push me and everyone on his team outside our comfort zones to always do better. He expected the best and he never accepted or allowed any of us to accept anything less from ourselves, our peers or our teams. Having that driving force always asking you if this is your best, lead to exceptional things."

He possesses an unwavering commitment to our success and his vision for achieving that success is clearly communicated and woven into every action he takes. As focused as he is on results, he remains truly people-oriented and compassionate as he takes on the hard decisions a CEO must face. He approaches every interaction with a great degree of integrity which is recognized both within Bridgeline Digital and amongst his peers across our Industry. He drives each of us to achieve our personal best mostly by providing his very best. Through his dedication, commitment, intelligence and integrity he is highly respected by our employees, our customers and our partners."

The things I learned working with him at Focus Enhancements set me on a course of personal and professional growth that I continue to this day. What I mostly appreciated from Thomas was his relentless pursuit of results and a drive that caused every member of the team to step up and out of their comfort zone to do more than they thought possible. Sometimes it was hard, but in the long-run the company and I were better off. This is the mark of a great leader and I appreciate the faith he placed in me before anyone else saw my potential "

​

John Cavalier:  " I consider Thomas Massie one of the best CEO's that I have ever known. I have had the pleasure of watching his Executive growth over the past few decades. Thomas has started, rapidly grown, and taken public 3 successful companies. He is a driven, results-oriented Executive who possesses an acute sense of detail, retention, and work-product pride. Thomas has a unique ability to quickly assess situations, make very good decisions and create effective execution plans. He leads from the front and is able to create leaders and then empower them.  When I was in need of an outside Director for MapInfo (MAPS-NASDAQ), I reached out to Thomas. I wanted him to join the MapInfo Board of Directors so he could bring his Executive Leadership skills to some of our Executives who had not had his experience. I also wanted to take advantage of his extensive business and steadfast integrity as MapInfo's Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee. In addition Thomas was a valuable member of the MapInfo Audit Committee. His ability to easily transgress management, technical, and people issues made him a pleasure to work with on the MapInfo Board.  I would HIGHLY recommend Thomas for any Executive level position or Board member position. He would be an immense asset to any organization. "

​

Joseph Marrow:  " I have had the good fortune of working closely with Thomas for the last several years. Thomas is an outstanding CEO.

From taking the company public, to driving its growth both organically and through acquisitions, Thomas has demonstrated extraordinary leadership skills and innovation to get the job done. Thomas is an excellent motivator and has a keen marketing sense. Given his long-term focus and dedication, there is little doubt Thomas will push any company he leads to the next level."

​

It has been a pleasure working with Thomas to create one of the best interactive technology companies in the industry."

He recruited me and then supported us fully with his strong vision to build a successful team based on strong values and performance. He also relates to employees very effectively, whether junior or senior, whether situated right next to him, or thousands of miles away.  Thomas is an extraordinary CEO with strong focus on core vision, but without loosing sense of values and people-orientedness. He leads from front and is able to create leaders and then empower them."

Anand Mohan:  " Thomas was one of the most dynamic and extraordinary CEO's that I have ever come across in my career. One of his most laudable abilities is to communicate a vision, keep large groups of employees very focused on stated goals and initiatives, motivate, diligently and assertively execute. He pays a lot of attention to customer satisfaction and required from his employees to deliver applications on spec, on time, and on budget. Thomas believes project execution needs to follow the Companies set development process without deviation because that will ensure higher customer satisfaction and foster repeat business. Developing market differentiation was always a high priority of Thomas’, as he perpetually positioned Bridgeline as a high quality provider in the marketplace. Thomas fostered a management environment that was transparent, highly accountable, with strong governance. Without question, Thomas’ strong will, determination, motivation skills, communication skills, and focus to will assist any Company he leads to achieve or exceed its goals."

​

Rick O'Connell:  " I had the pleasure of working for and with Thomas during my time at Focus Enhancements and consider that experience as one of the best of my career.   In the capacity of Director and soon thereafter Vice President of Sales , I had a great seat observing a CEO who not only understood the sales process from “presentation-to-purchase order”, but who gave me the tools and coaching to realize my overarching goals by challenging me to never retreat. And while he demanded nothing less than my best effort, he is a Mentor, a Coach and Leader I would gladly go-to-market with any day of the week. " 

​

Nathan Harris:  " I've found Thomas to be an exceptional mentor, an outstanding leader, and a lot of fun to work with. Tom has made a significant impact on our business by installing best practices throughout our sales process, guiding a number of our service delivery processes, and impactfully altering our approach toward recruitment. I appreciate Tom's business insight and & no BS approach. He holds a high bar of excellence for himself and those around him. Some of his advice has been hard to implement as it pulled me and other team members out of our comfort zones. But then again there are no shortcuts to becoming great."
