Sam is a energetic paradox of 3 key traits: he's analytical, but "applicatively curious", while also operating straight from the heart. He can zoom straight to the operational nuts and bolts of situations and his work, but then apply insight and sense, in heartfelt consideration of his colleagues. And it works in reverse, too: as a solid communicator (written, spoken, visual), he actually believes in what he's communicating, and combines his key traits to add a human, respectful touch while he efficiently drives to action and results.

Sam has become a stronger marketer by focusing on key areas that have honed his skills in product marketing. He approaches business problems / issues from an analytical viewpoint, has a questioning mindset, and has developed a stronger voice at the table. Sam is receptive to learning new skills, open to critical feedback / coaching, and a good collaborator with key internal stakeholders. Additionally, Sam provides updates proactively and always follows through on his commitments on assigned projects. I strongly recommend Sam and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

Working with Sam was a pleasure. Its always nice to work with people that see work as more than a task, but as an opportunity to develop and learn and Sam showed a sincere eagerness to learn. He worked quickly, consistently met project deadlines and demonstrated a true interest in the business of marketing. Sam delivered good work and communicated well.

I believe Sam to be a strong communicator, and he has used every opportunity to strengthen the cohort’s communication in the last 18 months. Sam recognized the importance of academic contribution, and shared readings and class notes by utilizing his expertise in information technology. He served as the focal contact person for both the IIME and our MBA 596 project and ensured timely delivery of critical information.
