“It is always a blessing to have the opportunity to work with someone who is passionate about their job and cares deeply about their team’s well being. Caley’s biggest strength is their ability to provide guidance, mentorship, and clarity to their team especially during times of uncertainty which is a hard skillset to put into practice for anyone who embarks in management roles. Caley not only has a deep understanding of engineering and leadership principles that are essential for success in their role as a manager, but also is eager to learn, open to consistent feedback, and knows when it's important to apply newer knowledge and findings to their work and coach those outside of their immediate team as well. Working on Learning Experiences and Retention initiatives at Outschool with Caley has been one of my biggest highlights of my journey at Outschool and an opportunity for me to witness what kind of a manager Caley is—an exceptional colleague and collaborator who leads by example and sees their colleagues as full people with lives and ambitions outside of work. Their management and leadership style is inclusive that puts people first while not jeopardizing business goals and focus. They consistently leave room to encourage collaboration and open communication across teammates, teams, and pods while not being a bottleneck to decision-making and team efficiency. Caley has taken huge responsibilities during the progression of their journey at Outschool and has been a compass for the team navigating through changes that naturally come with working for startups. Caley was a true embodiment of demonstrating Outschool's values; they owned the opportunities to support their team while strategizing how to efficiently build the right tools and manage stakeholder expectations. They are organized and efficient, juggling multiple projects and responsibilities without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. What I also love about Caley is their strong skill set in thinking creatively and outside of the box to find more innovative solutions for Outschool’s marketplace and holding their team accountable to the outcomes of how their work directly impacts customers—this can be rare to find in engineering leadership. I am thankful for what I was able to build with Caley and any company would be lucky to have them on their team.”
