Damon Hall

“I feel very lucky to have had Damon as my manager in my first serious job. Our team's atmosphere, inside jokes and human connections built during our daily meetings were among main reasons I genuinely enjoyed working there. Damon's encouragement and initiative both as a manager and a person massively influenced building this work environment. I felt trusted and encouraged to learn and experiment, even if it meant making mistakes. I knew that I can be open about any work related problems, but also any other problems that could influence my work. Damon is a great communicator who really cares about his team, as well as about relationships with stakeholders and other teams. I think everyone can learn a lot from him about building and navigating work relationships. He has lots of knowledge about analytics, tools implementation, working with a web development team, personalization, A/B testing, marketing and business in general. I enjoyed and appreciated learning from him. I always felt that, even when busy, Damon would try to make time for me to talk with him and answer my questions if I needed it. I think Damon is a great manager who can motivate his team to do their best work, learn and grow. When we were interviewing for new team members, more than one person said that it was one of the nicest interviews they ever had. I remember my interview in the exact same way. Damon has a way of making people feel at ease and as a result showing their best side and achieving their full potential. I highly recommend Damon for every team embracing the idea that even in a professional setting we're still a bunch of humans who need some good conversations with some (positively) bad jokes.”

“Damon is a great leader and mentor to his team. He is well respected and empathizes well with his employees, relating to their needs well. He is passionate about every aspect of his job. Analytics and personalization are so ingrained in his personality, he is able to speak to them like saying the alphabet. He has gained so much knowledge in his time at SW, that no one can compare. Damon is also a strong collaborator, both internal to our team and all of marketing and other stakeholders. He has built a customer first shop that delivers through almost any obstacle. He is an innovative and flexible problem solver who uses his love of analytics to drive consistency and accuracy.”
