It's been a pleasure to work with Josh for the last 2 years. During that time he's been a Swiss army knife in the growth team at Prolific, working on various projects ranging from establishing a community around Prolific's product to running bi-weekly growth sessions, in order to get different teams in the company experimenting with new channels/approaches.

Throughout that time he's always been diligent, delivered work to a high standard and has been a pleasure to have on the team. I highly recommend Josh as an amazing generalist and back him to do great things in whatever he does next.
