6. “high caliber performer”
“collaborative member of our team”
Pete Szymanski has been a high-caliber performer for Doximity since June 2011.
He is a lawyer who knows our business and successfully supports our business
objectives. He consistently demonstrates trusted judgment in advising on risk/reward
trade-offs. His agreement templates and comments are pragmatic and get deals
done. He has handled nearly all of our legal matters, other than the stock registrar
and equity related agreements. He has saved us significant amounts on law firm
fees, and reduced the legal distractions on my plate as a collaborative member of
our team.

7. “sees around the corners”
I have worked with Pete Szymanski as CEO of One Medical and as Chairman of
DripDrop when Pete was successfully brought in to turn around the business. Pete
sees around the corners and can identify and overcome the issues to accomplish
future goals. He has the background and self-confidence necessary to counsel
senior management and the board of directors. I have repeatedly seen his strong
ability to assess benefits and risks in complex situations, and communicate
effectively to get consensus on solutions.

business at Blurb for over 18 months, including marketing and advertising questions,
online policies, revenue and vendor agreements, customer support issues, oversight of
IP and international counsels, and significantly reduced our transactions and
international legal costs. He was the legal eyes for the executive team and worked
with our operations, finance, marketing, IT and HR departments to ensure our issues
were spotted and resolved. He took a significant amount of legal work off my plate
ensuring my focus on business operations and revenue generation.
