I shall always remember when I joined Alshaya, and Brien was leading the Oracle team. He embraced me and the rest of the team on the client side, making us a part of his weekly Monday morning stand-ups where he set the direction for the week, acknowledged successes, challenged the team, and celebrated birthdays and other personal milestones any team member reached. He always said, “we’re all part of the same team” and he walked the talk. He seemed to always have time for everyone, irrespective of who you were but at the same time did not “suffer fools gladly”.
A forthright man - a man with the courage of his convictions, with fairness at his core.
“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered…….”
Charles Spurgeon
This, Brien had in spades and personified. May his soul rest in perfect peace and may the peace of the Lord garrison the hearts of all he left behind. Amen.
