Franz Kafka, “The Trial”
“Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.”

Perfectly simple: deliver what you agreed and get paid
I was surprised when I first met Tom. The surprise was probably down to the fact that we all have some imaginary picture of a man we are about to meet for the first time, and often that image is completely the opposite of what they are really like.
It happened in 2003. on the premises of Meridian Bank, when I participated in the development of network solutions for the bank. Tom interfered in our work only as far as was necessary to direct us and give basic instructions when resolving our dilemmas on technical issues. He had a crystal clear picture of what he wanted to achieve. His ability to see the obvious really came through. The project was completed and Meridian Bank became the first electronic bank in the region.
Several times we were in the same company when business was not on the agenda. An example of that is the World Cup in Germany. For Tom, the time before the game we were to watch would be lost if we just sat around, drank beer and chatted. He had to explore the town, see the sights, get to know its spirit… I think he has a very wide range of interests, which makes him pleasant and knowledgeable company.
We worked together again later when Tom founded NS Invest. I was very glad to be invited to continue the cooperation in the new company as well. To me personally, and I believe to many others, working with Tom is perfectly simple: deliver what you agreed and get paid.
