I was lucky enough to find Allyn as a technical & product mentor/consultant/coach while getting my first startup going. I didn't know what I was doing, and knew I needed expert advice. What I have found in Allyn has been so much more than I ever could have imagined from a mentor. He has forever changed the trajectory of my career. His experience, knowledge, skill, expertise and savvy are incredible. His integrity is extremely high. He is truly a giver. He always seeks to give way, way more value than is expected, repeatedly blowing me away and raising the bar for what I thought was possible. I credit so much of our company's early success to Allyn. Having him as a counselor and advisor is truly a blessing. I cannot advocate highly enough for Allyn. A true professional and class act.
