I very much enjoy the wide-ranging discussions I have with Tim, particularly because he peppers the conversation with ample practical examples from other people he has worked with, or from his prior time in the line.

Tim is a visionary leader who is able to drive cultural transformation in a highly complex business organization. Much of my professional growth has been influenced by his passion for people development and business excellence. He has always set the bar high and provided the organization and his people the tools to be successful. Tim is an excellent leader, strategic thinker, and his ability to impact and influence the business is a tremendous asset to any organization.

Business leaders cannot succeed in Asia Pacific unless they excel in hiring, developing, and retaining talent, so strong business HR partnership is critical. Tim Bray is one of the best senior HR execs I’ve worked with in 25 years of growing businesses in Asia Pacific. His knowledge of the region and HR, along with his past operational experience across different industries gives him the breadth and depth of insight to provide the support needed to win the talent war in the region. His exceptional ability to assess talent issues and opportunities then create innovative solutions was a key factor in our ability to outgrow the competition. I’m a big fan of Tim’s HR abilities and unreservedly recommend his services as a consultant.

In 2009-10 when Quintiles was aggressively expanding its commercial healthcare offerings and geographic reach, Tim was instrumental in understanding the global transformative strategy being applied and the need to strengthen the global leadership team. The results of his direct efforts and linkages to organizational effectiveness SMEs, resulted in focused leadership alignment, cross cultural understanding and cooperation and positive business results across the board. Always a pleasure to work with Tim as a high caliber partner.
