He sees working alongside others collaboratively as a new art form and makes everyone on the team feel smarter and more connected to the mission and to one another. Conor is an expert project manager/project lead. He is self-directed and is able to imagine and convey the value of the work at hand. He dodges distractions and is able to move amidst chaos and uncertainty with nimbleness and skill. He delivers, time and time again. He is also an exceptional human resources professional in the deepest sense.
