“Kyle is an incredible leader. He brings out the best in everyone he works with. From the higher-ups to the troops on the ground, he engages all with his same passion and vision for doing great things. There is an optimism in his step that is contagious, and he can just as easily pinpoint critical business questions, probe the nuances of product strategies, or unlock the creative energy simmering in a whole organization. At Disney, as the head of Disney Interactive’s Labs group and Imagineering’s GIE, he is a legend and beloved. I am grateful I got to work under him and was provided a forum to give my utmost. Anyone who has him as a leader, teammate or friend is lucky and blessed. I would follow Kyle into any mission, storm or horizon. ”
