Lo is one of the strongest and most inspiring leaders I've ever worked with. At Art.com he oversaw the launch of an original art marketplace, setting business and product strategy and then mobilizing his team to execute. There are so many things to admire about Lo—his creativity, his tenacity, his integrity, his gift for communication, to name just a few—but what I appreciated most was that he was always on the lookout for ways for me to grow in my role. It's rare to find someone in an organization who can be both a driving force of innovation and a nurturing people manager. Lo is a very special leader. Run, don't walk, to work with him.

Lo is a fantastic business leader for large companies as well as startups. Lo and I worked together when he was first at eBay running the collectibles business. He impressed me so much that later we brought him in to become an advisory Board member for our startup Mpire (now AdXpose). Lo brings a wealth of operating acumen along with creativity that enables him to scale businesses very quickly. Lastly, he has incredible integrity and a true passion for technology that is contagious.

Lo and I were on the founding management team together and weathered good times and bad through the early days of the internet. His tenacious approach, positive attitude and strong professional network were invaluable and contributed greatly to our eventual sale of the company. While circumstances haven't allowed us to work together since, I would welcome the opportunity and know that Lo will continue to be successful in whatever his endeavors.

Lo was a key member of the Cake management team and led the development and launch of an industry-leading investment subscription product that was favorably reviewed by the media, including Walt Mossberg. Lo is extremely structured in his thinking and he implemented a rigorous process to identify our target customer, which allowed us to focus the company's time and resources on the right priorities. He has a keen understanding of what does and does not work online and is well-versed in the history and vocabulary of the Internet. I found him to be an individual of utmost character with extremely high values and morals, and someone who always delivers on his commitments.
