Tony Baker’s counsel is simultaneously gentle and profound, challenging colleagues to reframe their thinking and address the questions beneath their questions. His perspective has significantly influenced my professional development, and I endorse him without reservation. I've known Tony for more than 20 years, witnessing his evolution from photographer and studio owner to Creative Operations Leader and then Director at Amazon, Nike and Accenture Song, . At each career juncture, he hasn't merely adapted — he's excelled. What distinguishes Tony is his approach to mentorship. In my transition from freelancing to teaching photography and eventually chairing the Photo and Imaging Department at Art Center, his guidance proved invaluable. Rather than offering simple solutions, Tony poses incisive questions that encourage deeper exploration.

Tony has a wealth of knowledge about the industry. He's one of the best in the business. One of the things I appreciate about him is his ability to give great advice, and then also to be able to open up space and really listen. Any time we've worked together, I feel like I leave as a much better version of myself than when we started our call. I highly recommend working with Tony!

I was impressed by Tony's leadership style from the moment I met him. I call it "a Hollywood-heist-movie leader with a heart of gold” approach. He's meticulous, empathetic, provides clarity for his teams. Early on when I launched my podcast, Tony was a perfect early guest to have on and set the right tone. He's dedicated to helping people and teams achieve new heights in ways that already feel natural and familiar.
